HRH Prince of Wales is a good ally at a time like this. Drop him a line for some support (Clarence House, London SW1A 1BA), and cc Leighton Andrews at the Welsh Assembly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374919605679313185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383556094015959484.post-83730913225925212692009-05-15T11:48:00.000+01:002009-05-15T11:48:00.000+01:00news just in that half the units in St Davids 2 ha...news just in that half the units in St Davids 2 have not been let. The credit crunch means that this will be a white elephant. We are running out of oil and natural resources and our emissions are contributing to climate change - yeah we need a new shopping complex! Lets just keep shopping and everything will be fine. <br />You should challenge Cardiff City council and WAG on the basis of sustainable development. They both say they are committed to it but a new car park and another temple to consumerism contradict their pious commitments. Contact all the environmental groups in Cardiff and put that to them. It may be a pub but it represents community far better than St Davids 2Rhodrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383556094015959484.post-71075063959859182772009-05-12T13:16:00.000+01:002009-05-12T13:16:00.000+01:00Come on guys dont kill the heritage and soul of th...Come on guys dont kill the heritage and soul of this historical part of Cardiff, I live in Dubai but have had many a beer in the Vulcan.

Unfortunatly I dont think management have a lot of say in what will happen. <br /><br />There are a few questions I woud like to ask you if thats ok? Just easier than doing it here! <br /><br />Email is - save.the.vulcan@gmail.com.

I would suggest however that you re-organise your website/blog so as to get to the crux of the matter more quickly and concisely. There are also a few typos, e.g. "Disaclaimer". Also, have you lobbied the Atrium across the road as I would imagine they have some clout in determining what happens. Although management may be in favour of new parking facilities, students and staff may not be so keen to see the one-and-only nearby pub pulled down. You may also want to get students involved in saving the pub, particularly their media students who may be able to help make a bigger splash in the local media. Just some thoughts from a lecturer in Advertising in the middle of marking a huge pile of papers!<br /><br />Best,<br />AAndrew McStayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947813622227598211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383556094015959484.post-29529792277509178862009-04-25T00:25:00.000+01:002009-04-25T00:25:00.000+01:00how many more cars will be able to park by knockin...how many more cars will be able to park by knocking down The Vulcan?
