Stop a new needless bus lane in Caerphilly Rd involving tree felling.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Cardiff City Council is wanting to put bus lanes in places where they would be of little benefit and where there is no room for them. They will be removing huge trees which give character to a road, improve drainage and air quality and look wonderful all year round. In particular Caerphilly Rd A469.
