🔌 Cardiff Council to support installation of up to 100 new EV chargers in next two years 🔌
Up to 100 new electric vehicle charging points could be installed with Cardiff Council support over the next two years.
The plans are part of a newly published ‘Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Roadmap' to help aid the transition to electric vehicles. The roadmap sets out the council's plan to focus initially on supporting public EV charging in areas with low levels of off-street parking including Heath, Gabalfa, Cathays, Roath, Penylan, Adamsdown, Riverside, Canton, Grangetown and Butetown.
The roadmap forms part of the council's One Planet Cardiff response to climate change, which aims to reduce the 1.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions created in the city every year, 41% of which currently come from transport.

👩🏽🎓 Secondary School Applications for September 2025 👨🏽🎓
Applications for secondary school places to start in September 2025 are now open, and families are reminded that applying on time and providing five school preferences can increase their chances of getting a place at one of their preferred schools.
Cardiff Council's Admissions Team have provided simple step-by-step advice and guidance in the form of 7 tips to help families applying for a school place in Cardiff.
The information is available online and through an animation aimed at children and families, helping to explain how the admissions process works and the importance of using all five preferences available.
Should a family choose to only put one school option, for example, they are greatly limiting their chances of securing a preferred school.
