Cardiff Council has begun the next phase of work to improve access to bus stops across Llandaff, Llanishen, Rhiwbina and Radyr. The upgrades are partly aimed at preventing inconsiderate parking and making it easier and safer for older people, disabled passengers, parents with prams and anyone who may find existing bus stop layouts difficult to use.
Funding and planned works
The works are supported by funding from the Welsh Government’s local transport fund, which awards funding to local authorities and regional bodies to improve local transport infrastructure, safety and active travel.
In some locations, the kerb and footway will be raised to provide more level access for people to get on and off the bus. Road markings will also be introduced to create a bus border to indicate to drivers where parking may block access to the bus stops.

Across Llandaff, Llanishen, Rhiwbina and Radyr, improvements are scheduled at the following locations:
- Heol Uchaf, Rhiwbina: 19 to 27 October 2026
- Wenallt Road, Rhiwbina: 21 to 26 October 2026

Official comment
Cllr Dan De’Ath, the cabinet member for transport, said: “These improvements will make it safer and easier for people to board their bus at these locations.
“They will give buses more space to pull in, while also helping to ensure that enforcement action can be taken when bus stops are obstructed by inconsiderate parking.
“The work will make a real difference for passengers who rely on buses every day.
“By making bus stops safer and easier to use, we are helping to make bus travel more reliable and a better public transport option for everyone.”
