Swansea has all the major shops that every major city in the UK has to be fair.....And every town and city has run down areas to be fair also. As for the Market then Swansea is up there with the best imv and the quadrant is very good as well....Our Bus station is very easy to use and understand abet it is far away from the train station.....OK when the Great western was running then it would have been close I remember it.....Swansea councils for many years have been responsible for making some very bad decisions but today it is all about cutbacks in funds that has a big say today.....Overall we are no worse than any other city including Cardiff who has many rundown areas itself........I am a proud Jack who loves my ugly Swansea warts and all.......
Morons R Us at it again, hiding behind his computer screen, wearing his hero's hat, pretending to be something other than the dolt that he is, and insulting REAL heroes along the way. If Don is the guy who ripped me off, then I will rejoice if/when he pulls his shutters down. You are clearly a fan of his. Now why doesn't that surprise me. All morons, in it together. Does he also pretend to be a hero, and wear a silly hat whilst hiding behind his shutters, ?
So many assumptions in your post .You obviously don't realise that's it's not me in the image, its called an avatar . I'm not sure who I've insulted , other than you that is ( but I'm sure I'll get over it) and pretending to be whom exactly ?
I would say that it doesn't have all the major shops - the fact that Starbucks closed their only city centre shop says a lot about the place, hell there's not even a KFC in the centre is there ? The city needs a proper mall with restaurants, coffee shops etc not the Quadrant that you can walk through in 2 mins flat - it needs to be a destination for the day.
Starbucks has moved into the enterprise park which opens up more opportunities for independent traders which Swansea has an abundance of . Does it really need yet another fast "food" outlet such as KFC ? , try using the many alternatives available such as recommended in Trip advisor https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Resta...Swansea_Swansea_County_South_Wales_Wales.html It would appear some people just like to moan
Mo Toys R Us closed left after Parc Tawe was near or completed .I don't notice anyone complaining that Mothercare closed in Cardiff Why not support our city instead of complaining
My point is not that the city centre needs another fast food place, but rather the fact that their absence says something about how attractive a prospect the city is.
This is another reason why the rest of Wales is struggling , do you see the same investment elsewhere in the country https://www.walesonline.co.uk/business/business-news/new-train-south-wales-train-15717499
Not good enough for them but good enough for the MTC to be located there even though there's two just over the bridge not more than 20 miles away, and by the way Singleton was built in 1968 https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/replace-university-hospital-wales-cardiff-15726559
Not something i would want or expect, But i'm glad someone is going to use it rather than lay empty for years and a target for vandals....
Circus Eruption went into the old PCWorld next to Smyths Toys in Llansamlet, but I never ever noticed it open.... The sign is still up on the building in fact.
