> Waste lorries are finding access blocked

ANGRY residents living near a Cardiff high school say they are being blocked in and their rubbish hasn't been collected for weeks because collection vehicles can't get through thanks to inconsiderate parking.

People living near Cantonian High say huge building works there to bring in two more schools to create the £110m Fairwater Campus have caused massive parking problems. They said it is only a matter of time before someone is hurt, with children and adults unable to see crossing the road and emergency and rubbish collection vehicles unable to access some streets.

"People are parking on the pavement, in front of driveways and on kerbs," said Rachel Rankmore, who lives in Cadwgan Place and whose son, Bailey, has severe epilepsy and often requires an ambulance or emergency help.
