At yesterday's State of the Area Debate, Cllr. Chris Williams (Cabinet member for Transport) pubicly declared that the council is "fully behind" the Ely Bridge. Deputy Leader Neil Moore confirmed that the Vale authorities are actively working together with Cardiff Council and the Harbour Authority to get the bridge built. They also announced that £0.25m had been made available by the Harbour Authority to do a design for the bridge.
At the meeting, Neil Moore also revealed that the Headland Link Walkway will be "shelved" because the total cost of over £20m made it unaffordable at the moment. The Vale Council will try and lobby the Welsh Assembly Government to alllow them to retain the £7m they were awarded towards the Headland Link. If this money can stay with the Vale, then one obvious way to spend it would be on the bridge!
All in all, a very promising outlook from the Vale's side!
