Seventeen new bikehangars will be installed across Cardiff to help residents securely park their bikes without having to bring them into their homes.
The hangars, each providing space for six bikes while taking up only half a car parking bay, will be installed on residential streets in Canton, Riverside, Plasnewydd, Cathays and Splott later this month. The scheme aims to make cycle parking more convenient and secure, so residents can access their bikes more easily, to encourage people to cycle, instead of using their private car.
Following consultation with residents in August 2025, 17 locations were identified from an initial list of 50 potential sites. Further engagement took place between December 2024 and January 2025, allowing residents to raise questions and concerns, which have now been addressed. A decision has been taken to proceed with the first phase of the scheme.

Cardiff Council is preparing an updated Active Travel map showing where people can currently walk and cycle safely across the city – and where new and improved routes are planned in the future - which is a requirement set by Welsh Government.
Before the map is submitted to Welsh Ministers, the Council will carry out a 12 week public consultation from May to June 2026, giving residents, businesses and community groups the chance to comment on the proposals and suggest improvements. The consultation will include targeted engagement to ensure the views of different communities are properly considered. The updated Active Travel Network Map brings together existing walking and cycling routes with proposals for future improvements, helping the Council plan how people can make every day journeys without relying on their private car.
Cllr Dan De’Ath, Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning, Transport and Climate Change, said: “The Council is committed to building a network for both cyclists and pedestrians, so that both walking and cycling becomes an attractive option to those who are able, instead of relying on travelling by car. The Active Travel Network Map supports the wider aims that we want to establish - to improve health and wellbeing, reduce congestion, cut air pollution further and make it easier for people to travel around Cardiff safely and sustainably.”

Road Safety Wales is encouraging all motorcyclists to take advantage of a free scheme which could be lifesaving in the event of a collision.
Hopefully you’ll never need to use a CRASH Card, but if the worst happens a medical professional will be able to see the green dot on the right hand corner of your visor/helmet and can look for the card inside the helmet lining.
The details that you write on the card could provide vital information for attending ambulance crews, saving valuable time and helping treatment, especially if you’re unconscious or unable to communicate.

Police officers in North Wales stopped almost 50 drivers, including HGV and van drivers, recently as part of an ongoing operation to protect motorists on the region’s busiest roads. Using an unmarked heavy goods vehicle, officers from the Roads Crime Unit took part in Op Tramline - a national roads policing operation using a HGV tractor unit provided by National Highways.
The unit is regularly used by police forces across the country to carry out patrols across strategic road networks targeting all drivers including HG drivers and commercial vehicles. The elevated position of the HGV cab allows trained officers to easily see what drivers are doing and offences are identified and recorded on camera in real time.
These offences are then radioed to colleagues situated in marked and unmarked police cars, who then pull-over the suspected vehicles and address the offences.

People across the county are being asked to share their views on where Active Travel can be made safer and easier for everyone.
Under statutory duties of the Active Travel (Wales Act) 2013, all Local Authorities in Wales are required to submit their Active Travel Network Maps (ATNM’s) to the Welsh Government in December 2026. These maps support the planning, delivery and funding of Active Travel schemes, helping to create a more integrated, accessible, and sustainable network for walking, wheeling and cycling journeys.
