00:00Councillors Peter Littlechild and Emma Reid Jones have signed an open letter
00:05urging Cardiff Council not to sell East Cardiff Park and Ride
00:09for it to be turned into a data centre.
00:12The proposal has sparked strong opposition from local councillors,
00:16residents and activist groups who have launched multiple campaigns.
00:22The spokesperson says the sale fits the council's plan to improve East Cardiff infrastructure,
00:26including a new bridge, and NHS staff parking will remain until replacement is found.
00:33With the Welsh Government's directive in place,
00:36Cardiff Council will debate the data centre proposal at a special planning committee meeting
00:40on 12 November, while ministers consider final approval.
