“Living in a city, people use the green belt for their children to play, to walk their dogs or to explore the countryside. Losing the green belt would affect local people’s quality of life and having already lost a significant amount of open green space locally, I will continue to fight to protect what is left of it.”
“I urge people to sign this petition to protect our greenbelt and help stop any unnecessary destruction of our precious green open spaces in Cardiff.”

I have been hearing from so many families who rely on these green spaces for their own peace of mind. Your stories about how you use this land confirm why I started this fight in the first place.

Seeing this level of support reminds me exactly why I started this fight for the fields where my own kids grew up playing. The momentum we have built together proves that our community refuses to let these beautiful spaces disappear under concrete.

Fully support the campaign. I live in Lisvane & am horrified at the plans to build more houses. I moved here 8 years ago so our children and ourselves with our dogs could go walk in the green belt area and not feel suffocated by the city
we need as much green land as possible preserved....it is thelungs of the planet and protection from flooding. Why cover more of our great Earth in concrete?
Once built, the damage is done forever. More housing would clearly be beneficial for many, however, lets be more innovative and smarter in our solutions, protecting our environment also.
I feel very passionately about the need to fight the councils plans to build a huge new housing estate on farm land around the Old St Mellons, Llanederyn area.
The green belt north of the M4 is essential to th eresidents of Cardiff. In addition the traffic flow from the north of Cardiff flowing down the A469 into Cearphilly Road is already extremely heavy during peak periods. the road infrastructure cannot deal with any increase in traffic due to new housing developed north of the M4.
I live in Lisvane and chose to live in this quiet leafy suburb so I had easy access to the countryside and still be close to the city. The traffic in Lisvane over the last 7 years has quadrupled with the introduction and use of sat navs, we certainly don't need any more houses being built in this area and congesting the small roads even further. We need to preserve our beautiful countryside and utilise brown sites first before building on green belt land. I rode my bike on the Ely trail from the bay, there was loads of scrub land there that could be built on.
Brown field sites are available for development. These should be utilised first.

I think Cardiff Council could find enough brown field land if they wanted to, and I'm disgusted they haven't committed to protect the green belt.
