Road Safety Team on the moveThe Cardiff Road Safety Team will soon be re-locating from its Briardene Road Safety Centre on North Road to a new headquarters at Maindy Stadium. The short distance move is likely to take place in June or July of this year and means that the team will be working closely with Dave Jackson's Maindy staff to offer the public of Cardiff a more comprehensive service, including a range of cyclist training opportunities. Further information about this move will be displayed on this website to keep you updated. |
