A ROW broke out today between Labour-run Cardiff Council and the Welsh government over planning permission for a new mainline railway station in the city.

Council leader Huw Thomas wrote to First Minister Eluned Morgan branding her government’s two-year delay in planning permission “inexplicable” and “indefensible.”

Cardiff Council granted planning permission for Cardiff Parkway station and business park in St Mellons in April 2022.
