Car park reduced to rubble for rebuild work
South Wales Echo
|May 10, 2025
WORK on developing a new car park in Cardiff Bay is now well underway more than five years after controversial plans for the scheme were put in.
A proposal to demolish and build over the Mermaid Quay multi-storey car park was put to Cardiff Council in 2019 and approved in 2021.
Demolition work has started and the new car park is expected to be completed by next April.
The new Mermaid Quay car park is proposed to be four storeys high, instead of the two that it was previously, and will feature a different design.
Some of the main concerns of residents living near the development site include the potential for more traffic, increased noise pollution and air pollution.
Residents also noted, particularly in relation to their concerns about congestion and air pollution, that the site is near Mount Stuart Pri-mary School. A petition opposing the plans that was submitted in 2019 gained 214 signatures.
One resident who contacted the council in 2019, Christine Thompson, wrote: "If I knew this was going to happen, I would have never bought my home."
