Cardiff today: BayLit Festival, Castle street closure, and mapping schools

Good morning Cardiff!

Today Cardiff literature festival BayLit Shock of the New starts running until Saturday with some events taking place at Cardiff Central Library. The bilingual book festival run by Academi focuses on new and emerging writers including Guardian Cardiff guest blogger Susie Wild. Tweeting will take place here and all news from the festival will go on the website here.

What's making Cardiff tick today?

Castle Street closed yesterday to make way for the final part of the development of the new Castle Quarter in the city centre, reports WalesOnline.

A Cardiff man has made a fake police speeding camera van on his road to catch speeding cars, reports ITV Wales.

Former Cardiff MP Julie Morgan guest blogs for ITV Wales blog on her campaign to become the Assembly Member for Cardiff north in next year's Assembly elections. She writes:

On the doorsteps in Cardiff North during the General Election campaign, so many people said to me, 'We want to vote for you, Julie, but we don't want to vote for Gordon Brown'. I'm sure that in the long-term, Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling will be seen as having stopped the collapse of our financial system. History will treat them kindly, I think.

YourCardiff maps out the new school reorganisation plans.

The Grangetown councillors blog on the latest news from the local partnerships and communities meeting.

WalesOnline reports how thieves went through a brick wall to burgle a fishing shop.
