🚦 New plans for the Coryton Roundabout in Cardiff have stirred up some strong opinions! Cardiff Council has greenlit the installation of a massive 96-sheet digital billboard near one of the UK’s largest roundabouts. Expected to be quite the eye-catcher, the billboard will boast a 12x3m display, but not everyone is thrilled. 🌸
Tongwynlais Community Council has voiced worries about the impact on motorists navigating the bustling interchange, alongside concerns for a nearby wildflower meadow and local wildlife. They’re worried that the vibrant display might distract drivers and disrupt the natural habitat of rare flowers and protected species. 🦇💡
While some fear the board’s light could interfere with nocturnal creatures like bats, Cardiff Council assures that highway safety will remain unaffected. Plus, the digital ads will come with specific conditions to control brightness, ensuring no flashing images or anything resembling traffic signs.
