Rodney Berman @rodneyberman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Well done to everyone who ran the Cardiff Half today. Another great event a terrific atmosphere once again. Well done to all involved - whether organising it, taking part, cheering the runners on, or clearing up afterwards. Pleased to get a PB, shaving 59s off vs last year. 020
Rodney Berman @rodneyberman.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I am grateful to a resident who has alerted me to problems with a sewage leak at the southern end of Lake Road East, on the route of Sunday's Cardiff Half Marathon. I have escalated this to senior management in Cardiff Council and urged them to ensure it's sorted in time. 020
