Schoolboy error. I got caught up in the traffic coming past Sainsbury at around 3:30. Slow learner, me.

Looking at the reaction on various social media, it was the worst thing to happen in Swansea since John Bond. Apparently some people place great importance on this kind of thing amd were thoroughly outraged.

The council are in a no win situation here. Spend tens of thousands on a parade for a few hours enjoyment for a minority, whilst the majority face a hike in council tax due to shortfalls?

That's the problem though, the thousands who turned out yesterday, probably live within the Swansea area, expecting a reasonable show, only for all the kids to be let down..Only for the Council to come up with a lame excuse, as to why it was p!ss poor.
As the second City in Wales surely they could do better!

That’s a bit harsh. A lot of us are all over in 5 minutes, but it’s not nice to be branded a shambles

Fathy’s right. Council are on a hiding to nothing with this. It would be great to give it a real go and put on a good display (plenty of places do). But with ongoing real cuts to the Council budget, they’d face a barrage of criticism if they spent a lot. Winter Wonderland is probably different as I assume it’s a money maker.

A shame. A little bit of magic and feel good factor would go down well right now.

Because it’s Christmas, keep up


I can think of a few reasons:
- it’s for the benefit of their public, and counts towards their ‘well-being’ duties
- it may contribute towards the 3rd of their objectives in the current strategic plan: to transform the economy. A good event would drive footfall to the shops in the city centre.
- if done well it may help pull people in from outside, helping promote Swansea as a tourist destination

I’ve no idea of the cost versus benefits of course. But if it’s crap it won’t be worth it, that’s for sure.
