My understanding was that the Civic Centre would be demolished and eventually there would be hotels, restaurants , apartments etc that would in our councils words reconnect the city to the sea. My wife works in the NHS , her office is on Orchard Street, they are relocating to the Civic Centre for the next 5 years. Nothing like progress . It’s all gone a little quiet on the city Centre plans. |  | | |  |

Needs money doesn’t it. The plans were just an advertisement to attract developers/investors. Not exactly the time for it now (and they’ll not be able to get EU Development funds from now on). |  | | |

Not allowed to build another hotel that close to the Marriott |  |

Either my driving is getting worse or that new stretch of road along Kingsway is too narrow for two lanes of traffic.
Hopefully things will improve once the lanes are marked and all the construction paraphernalia has been removed. [Post edited 29 May 2019 5:39]

Btw talk about stupidity - who on earth builds a hotel which doesn't take advantage of the sea views  |  |

I've heard the council are going to build a huge storage vault to store all the duff plans that never came to fruition. They'll even have models and a VR scale with Jim Bowen playing on loop 'Lets have a look at what you could of won' |  |

Not to worry though, we'll have the floating town in the bay.
Maybe we could put all the planners and councillors on it and pull the effing plug. |  |

It looks like it's being built stupidly narrow, especially as the busses will go down there. They've made no allowance for cyclists either. But at least they've made humongously wide pavements to accommodate the hoards of people attracted to the world class shopping along the Kingsway.
Swansea Council Highways prove the Infinite Monkey Theorem, but for traffic management. Someone there must be related to a traffic light manufacturer too. | | | |

If you build a new house now I think I’m right in saying that you have to include bike storage on the plans. However, no provision is made for them on the road where the priority should be. Farcical!
Absolutely agree with the traffic lights here. We are apparently trying to cut emissions from cars but you can’t do that when you are start / stop every 30 seconds. |  |

Let’s be honest, there are many people in Swansea who don’t want to see development & progress. | | | |

To be fair, if she works in Central Clinic then that place is a dump and I reckon she's better off going to the Civic Center
Makes me laugh, you're sent to Central Clinic for mental health treatment, but the building itself is enough to tip you over the edge  Horrible place |  | | |

Well apparently the current two (narrow) lanes going one way are gonna switch to two lanes going either way. There's surely too much traffic for just one lane in each direction. Meanwhile the pavement is wide enough to hold a football match on | | | |

Whoever has been responsible for Highways, Town Planning, Urban Regeneration, Business Investment etc etc should have been led out of County Hall and ceremoniously fired years ago. They are a byword for comic levels of incompetence. |  |

As per here; https://www.swansea.gov.uk/thekingsway
Also, Orchard Street currently has 2 lanes heading West. Despite that it still backs up halfway to Dyfatty flats at rush hour. Yet those two lanes are reducing to one in each direction
Maybe it'll all make sense when it's done but it seams like a disaster in the making on the face of it | | | |

I will add though, despite all the negatives, having a lot more greenery will be a welcome addition | | | |

All part of the plan to "encourage" use of public transport (ie make it next to impossible to take a car into town). In the meantime, out of town retail bustles along reasonably nicely whilst the city centre dies on its arse. |  |

The council assumed they could get a buyer for the civic centre very easily, but now current estimates indicate that it could cost more to demolish than it could be sold for.
This could mean that the council may have to pay people to take it off their hands. |  |
