City bins left overflowing on the hottest weekend of the year
City bins left overflowing on the hottest weekend of the year The council has said that during major events their crews cannot access cordoned off areas Taffs Mead Embankment on Monday morning (Image: Ruth Mosalski ) Rubbish was left piled up by bins across Cardiff on the hottest weekend of the year, when tens of thousands of gig goers visited the Welsh capital. People reported litter across Queen Street, Taffs Mead Embankment, Victoria Park and Llandaff Fields. Bins were full and rubbish seen piled up on Taffs Mead Embankment in Grangetown, on Saturday, as fans made their way to and from the second night of Stereophonics appearing at the Principality Stadium which is just metres away. By Monday morning, the initial piles of litter had been added to. A post on Facebook on Saturday, July 12, described Queen Street as being "disgusting" with someone saying people had no "clue how to use bins properly" while another person said Victoria Park had rubbish "everywhere". When asked to comment, Cardiff council said that during major events their crews cannot access cordoned off areas, however city parks were not closed to traffic, nor was Taffs Mead Embankment. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here Article continues below A spokesperson for Cardiff council said: "During major events at the Principality Stadium, road closures in Cardiff city centre prevent some of our waste collection vehicles from accessing cordoned off areas. "To manage this a longstanding cleaning schedule is in place. Cleansing teams empty the bins during the concert whilst the crowd are in the stadium. "For health and safety reasons, our cleansing teams must leave before the event ends and large crowds exit the stadium. "The teams then return in the early hours to complete the clean-up. "We continuously review the arrangements for emptying bins during concerts and refine our schedule as required. "Residents are reminded not to leave black bags next to litter bins. "General household waste should be disposed of through the regular collection service. If a bin is full, please take your litter home."

3 things gardeners need to do when an olive tree sheds its leaves & it'll grow back healthier and bigger afterwards
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE fluctuating UK temperatures may be leaving your olive tree looking a little worse for wear. However, following these three tips can help to revitalise your plant, leaving it even bigger and healthier than before. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Gardening fans shared their top tips for boosting your wilted olive tree this summer (stock image) Credit: Getty One green-fingered enthusiast shared their concerns over their olive tree in the Facebook group Gardening On A Budget Official. "Why are my olive trees losing their leaves?" the poster asked their fellow gardening fans. The comments section was filled with a wide variety of advice, however the same three suggestions popped up repeatedly. Gardener tips First, gardeners recommended popping your olive tree in the shade, if possible. Whether this involves strategically planning out your garden set-up or simply dragging a pot from one are to another, this step can make all the difference in your tree's health. Next, you should focus on watering your olive tree well, making sure your plants have sufficient drainage. Avoid under or overwatering the plant, as this can also lead to issues from leaves to roots. The final piece of advice is slightly more unusual, however gardening pros swear by it. They suggest giving your olive tree tomato feed to help nourish the plant. This is particularly handy when your olive tree is growing in a container. Wake up to a weed-free lawn for months thanks to Aldi's £10 gadget that pulls them out without bending or kneeling down If your plant needs a boost during the growing season, use this tonic as a supplementary feed. Olive tree While olive trees are relatively low maintenance, tolerating poor soil conditions and infrequent watering, it is important to help them where you can. Insufficient sunlight, improper watering, and lack of nutrients are the main reasons for poor growing conditions. This backs up the three gardening tips as the best course of action to take when it comes to your plants. Following these steps can not only save your olive tree, it may leave them looking bigger and healthier than ever.

Large bird that was hunted into extinction makes return to Scotland after 500 YEARS
It is described as 'one of the great modern conservation success stories' TAKING FLIGHT Large bird that was hunted into extinction makes return to Scotland after 500 YEARS Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LARGE bird that was hunted into extinction is making a return to Scotland after 500 years. Cranes were once very common across the country, but disappeared in the Elizabethan era. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Cranes disappeared in the Elizabethan era around 400 years ago Credit: Alamy But Scotland's tallest birds are now making a comeback, with the number of species reaching a record-breaking high. The RSPB says the total UK population is now in excess of 250 breeding pairs. In Aberdeenshire, up to six breeding pairs have been recorded. It follows efforts by reserve teams and volunteers to restore and protect precious wetland habitats. The RSPB says over 80 per cent of the breeding population of Cranes are now found on protected sites. Standing at 1.2m high, the elegant birds are known for their "courtship dance" involving head bobbing, bowing and pirouetting. RSPB volunteer Ron Macdonald told STV News: "In 2012, we saw the first nesting pair recorded and since then we've seen around six or seven pairs in the north east. "The birds are doing particularly well in northern and eastern Europe, and they're now seeking out other sites with good food supplies where they can live. "I think it's one of the few good news stories around, because we see so many species in decline. "I think in recent years there's been a good partnership between farmers and conservation projects, and our government also has more policies for nature restoration, particularly when it comes to wetland and bog creation." RSPB share footage of partakers Big Garden Birdwatch James Silvey, Senior Species and Habitats Officer for RSPB Scotland, described the return of cranes as "one of the great modern conservation success stories". He added: "Cranes are still a very rare breeder in Scotland preferring quiet areas to raise their chicks. "Hopefully with time Cranes will become more common across our wetlands allowing more people to see these magnificent birds."
