The Vulcan is a fabby place - genuine and unpretentious - so well worth supporting.

In an area of Cardiff fast becoming a souless concrete jungle, the Vulcan offers real character. Retaining it would add considerably to the the attractiveness of the area

I agree that the developers in CF are in danger of establishing Cardiff as a soul-less place > the Bay area for example is good but there is something missing: character & life!
I am against this new building - and I would love to help saving “The Vulcan”. Long may it live. SAVE the good “olde” British pubs - you do not get them anywhere else! All for The Vulcan. If action is required I will be there.

What they are doing to Cardiff is tragic. It used to be well known as having survived the worst of the ‘redevelopment mania’ in the 1960s and 1970s, and much of its Victorian architecture survived intact. (Although they did knock down the remains of the mediaeval Greyfriars Priory to widen what is now Kingsway in the 1950s). But the latest developments are destroying its skyline with really cheap looking tower blocks.
