Local information

Gardening in Cardiff North

Cardiff North is the suburban arc of Rhiwbina, Whitchurch, Llanishen, Lisvane, Thornhill, Heath and Pontprennau, plus Gabalfa and Llandaff North. Taff's Well is the one ward run by Rhondda Cynon Taf. Lawns here are cleared into Cardiff green bins or reusable sacks on a fortnightly round that never stops for winter. Replacement sacks can be bought for cash at the Llandaff North and Gabalfa Hub. Tipping needs a booked slot at Lamby Way or Bessemer Close.1 2 3 4
