We are working to create better places for people to live work and play in Cardiff. We do this by delivering projects and supporting work which helps improve and enhance neighbourhoods across the city.
We fund projects through our Neighbourhood Renewal Schemes programme and each project must benefit local people by making a place better to live and work.
Local Councillors are invited to put forward ideas of what they would like to be improved in their community. These ideas are then looked at by the whole Council.
