Where Am I? Where I Live / Cardiff

By: South Wales Police

The City and County of Cardiff is divided into sectors, based on combining council wards which each come under the command of a sector inspector. Each sector aims to deliver a locally accountable and equitable policing service, responding not only to national government targets but also to the needs and problems of all the communities of Cardiff.

 

Cardiff was confirmed as the capital of Wales in 1955 and is the youngest capital city in Europe. It's maritime heritage, as one of the leading ports in the world at the end of the 19th century, dealing with the coal and iron trade has contributed to it becoming a multi cultural city with long established multi-ethnic groups as well as asylum seekers. Massive redevelopment has occurred in the dock area, which has included the completion of the Cardiff Bay Barrage.

 

In recent years Cardiff has hosted a European Summit of Ministers and has seen the Millennium Stadium host the 1999 Rugby World Cup Finals. Devolution has seen the arrival of the Welsh Assembly Government in Cardiff Bay to provide a focus for politics. The number of visitors to Cardiff has also increased and this has led to greater diversification in the leisure and entertainment sector.
