I have lived in Rhiwbina for 17 years and use this footpath often to access the park. Most recently following knee surgery when I couldn't physically manage the bridge at Rhiwbina station or the incline of the path off Heol y Deri.
I have lived in both Rhiwbina and Whitchurch for over 60 years and have never been aware of a problem with this crossing. I was using it from 6/7 years of age to get to St. Teilo's Church. In those days the track was a double line and I fancy, much busier than it is today.
Closing the crossing is a terrible idea - would close off Rhiwbina from Whitchurch for those walking, impacting both the shops in Rhiwbina and also the amount of people walking - not exactly in the spirit of the wellbeing of future generations act!
Feel really strongly about keeping the crossing open as, if closed, I cannot do the school run with my child as have a baby in a buggy too so could not get up and over the rail way bridge. Any other route would double to the time to get to school!!
My daughter uses a wheel chair, and my son normally on his bike, if this crossing was closed we would actually have to drive to Caedelyn park, which defeats the point of getting out for some exercise... We need this point to cross to the park !!!!!
This crossing connects Rhiwbina to Whitchurch and is used by many every day. It should not be closed.

Would like to see Network Rail provide data on the number of safety related incidents encountered at this crossing. I would suggest that it is a very, very low number, and that the community benefit far outweighs the risk (in my humble opinion).
