Cardiff Council’s Economy & Culture Scrutiny Committee has launched a new inquiry into how people experience Cardiff’s city centre during the day and are very keen to hear your views.
The Inquiry is taking an independent, evidence‑based look at what’s working well, what needs attention, and what practical steps could help create a safer, more welcoming and more vibrant city centre for everyone.
Over the coming months, the Inquiry will review the work already happening across the city centre and speak with partners such as FOR Cardiff (the City Centre Business Improvement District), South Wales Police, community safety teams, and local businesses.
Inquiry Members are also doing walk‑arounds, taking different routes through town and speaking with the people who see what’s happening every day. They are looking at everything from safety and cleanliness to accessibility, cycle storage, seating areas and pavement safety, all the practical things that shape how a place feels and how easy it is to move around.
Inquiry Members would like to hear:
- What attracts you to Cardiff city centre during the day?
- What do you think is currently working well in Cardiff city centre?
- What do you think is not working well in Cardiff city centre?
- What do you think could be improved in Cardiff city centre?
- Does anything put you off visiting Cardiff city centre during the day?
- Is there anything else you would like to bring to our attention regarding Cardiff city centre?
If you would like to share your responses to the above, please email these to aholt@cardiff.gov.uk by 9 April 2026.
