Heath, Cardiff

Heath (Welsh: Y Mynydd Bychan) is a district, community and coterminous electoral ward in the north of Cardiff, capital of Wales.

Roads are tree lined and large greeneries with the notable attraction of Heath Park and the joining of the University Hospital of Wales.

After the initial development of traditionally middle-classed semi-detached housing (1920s-1950s) and more recently the construction of the University Hospital of Wales on the site of the former Heath Wood (1960s), much of the greenery has been eradicated.

Cardiff Bus's routes 38 and 39 terminate at the University Hospital of Wales, originating from the City Centre.

The following services run through west of Heath: Cardiff Council have recently implemented a number of traffic calming measures[6] on Allensbank Road / Heath Park Avenue with the aim of slowing traffic on the major thoroughfare and improving safety for pedestrians.

[9] In the past it has been represented by a variety of political groups, moving from Labour in the 1990s, to all Liberal Democrat in May 2004 and, after the May 2008 election, a Conservative majority.
