Did you know that there are three (that I know of ) litter picking groups in Splott? The amazing @KeepSplottTidy, @OasisCDF and @splottcomvols regularly organise community litter picks for people wanting to make a difference ❤️ inksplott.co.uk/litter-picking…

Kids can burn off some energy as you build a den or a giant marble run, wave to the trains, or look for bugs in the meadows at "Summer Play in the Gardens" every Wednesday from 24th July through Summer 10:30-12pm! 💚 Find out more: buff.ly/3Y9gjzd? #cardiff #splott

Good news that default speed limits will stay at 20mph in Wales. Local authorities should stand firm to ensure 20mph limits remain in places where people live, work & go to school. If a person is hit at 30mph, they're around 5x more likely to die than if they are hit at 20mph.

Are you passionate about our rivers and the water that runs through them? Tomorrow, a free drop-in event is taking place @Grange_Pavilion from 2pm-3:30pm where you can express your thoughts on what clean water means to you and more. Bi-lingual event in English and Somali. @futuregencymru
