CARDIGAN is being let down by the ‘grotty’ appearance of some its areas.

That is the blunt opinion of one town resident who has written to Cardigan Town Council urging them to ensure the town ups its game.

Liz Hardy, who said she had been living in Cardigan for the past 18 months, maintained numerous parts of town were in dire need of some TLC.

“Cardigan is trying to become a vibrant town, but if you park in the Riverside car park and go up the pedestrian way it just looks grotty,” she said.

“If you are to compete for business with other pretty Welsh towns you have to make all your streets attractive.”

However, Cllr Catrin Miles said it was unclear which areas Ms Hardy was referring to.

“While Ebens Lane appears to be one of the areas she mentions, people living along there have put out pots and everything and I think it now looks great,” she added.

Town clerk Eleri Maskell suggested Ms Hardy could be invited to send in photos so councillors could pinpoint precisely which areas she was referring to.
