Young people say what they want for place where they live

Cardiff University

A vision for a better Grangetown has been launched by young people as part of a Cardiff University project.

Children and teenagers aged eight to 18 outlined the improvements they would like for their neighbourhood in their report, A Grangetown to Grow Up In.

Reflecting on what they would like to see prioritised, the group are calling for more inclusive play facilities that cater for children with disabilities, as well as dedicated spaces for young women to meet and play.

The plan was launched at Grange Pavilion, where children and young people presented their conclusions to Cardiff Council and community group leaders to consider how they could work towards implementing the proposals.

Last year, a series of workshops were held, giving children and young people in Grangetown the chance to highlight what they liked about living there and what they would like to see improved, following the challenges they experienced from the pandemic.
