Some time ago, I spoke with Cardiff swift enthusiast, Clive Roberts. Clive has a great understanding of the swift community within Splott, Cardiff and knows all to well about the damage that can be inflicted when refurbishment
work takes place without those concerned being aware of the presence of swifts.
Through Clive's local knowledge, we recently made contact with Willis Construction who were employed on a new development with Cadwyn Housing Association. Although we weren't able to get any
swift bricks into this particular development, Willis were interested in helping us and set up a meeting with the adjacent St Peter's RC Primary School. This ultimately led to 7 swift boxes being put up on the school building on March 15th as can be seen below. Thanks in particular to
Sean Twamley at Willis Construction, Lyndon Watkins (Headmaster of St Peter's RC Primary School), Kath Williams at Cadwyn Housing and of course Clive for getting in touch and starting the ball rolling.

Excellent work, Ian. Now fingers crossed!
