I think the Welsh Government should step in immediately as this situation has been growing and is completely unacceptable for a first world country.

It's simply inhumane for those poor rats to be anywhere near the vermin who inhabit that town, god knows what they could catch.

Cardiff has been named as the murder Capitol of Wales with 1.73 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. This is twice the UK average and is higher than both London and Manchester but not as high as Liverpool.

I see the BBC had an article on the Soup if Rubish in Cardiff Bay. Even the Cardiff Bay harbour authority admitted that every year they have to clear 500 tons of waste and rubbish from the polluted waters most of which was dumped into the rivers that flow into the Bay by Cardiff residents.

Bit of perspective , in 2017 where I come from, Inverclyde, had a 14 per 100,000 murder rate.
