Interesting looking at the artists impression the ice rink is much extended into the current car park Todd must have been consulted one would hope.
Cardiff council is set to buy the ice rink and 10 acres of land at the International Sports Village.
New details about the master plan for the area have been revealed, including moving a motocross track from Splott to just west of the current Bayside mass vaccination centre.

A newly published cabinet report explained the fallout between the council and Greenbank, leading to progress ''stagnating''.

Progress under the development agreement has been slow due to a disagreement between the council and Greenbank relating to the fulfilment of conditions for the next phase of development, i.e. commitment to deliver the ski slope or a reasonable alternative.''
''In recent years the development has effectively ceased and the site has consequently suffered from significant uncertainty for an extended period. The development agreement between the council and Greenbank, that was designed to facilitate development, has effectively served to frustrate progress over recent
