Any redevelopment and restructure of the Quadrant is bound to be an improvement. They have already rejuvenated other areas.

On a separate note, the new Kingsway development is looking fantastic.

Agreed, I have been critical of the council for years but they really are transforming our city for the better and should be praised.

Continually looking for problems is so depressing, make an effort. Enjoy your surroundings and live life to the full it's so fulfilling. Or be a miserable **** and live a life of misery, your choice. It seems some prefer it that way.

EDIT.
Not aimed at you Boundy.

Some people just can't help themselves ,myself I love my city ,warts and all.There does seem to be a concerted effort to improve the city,the old swing bridge down by the Morfa looks like the wooden support structure is next on the list of refurbishment, maybe we'll see the slip bridrs successor will be next ?

Footfall will get another huge extra boost when the Hub (old BHS) is opened along with 71/72 The Kingsway and the redevelopment of the old Woolies in Oxford Street.

"Swansea Council has unveiled new plans to repurpose three historic buildings crucial to the city’s industrial heritage. The council wants to transform Vivian and Musgrave Engine Houses, and the V&S No.1 Locomotive Shed at the Hafod Morfa Copperworks site to bring new life to the Lower Swansea Valley."

"The Musgrave structure, which was built around 1910, is a scheduled ancient monument and contains the rare Musgrave Engine which is the last of its kind in the UK. The engine’s external elements will have a covered shelter so the machinery can be restored in future. The Vivian Engine House, built in 1860 will feature a mezzanine floor."

"Once finished, these engine houses would be suitable for a wide variety of uses, according to the council, like restaurants and cafes, exhibition-style spaces and shops."

I’ve been critical of Swansea Council most of my adult life, but the city centre redevelopment has really gone up a gear over the last couple of years. Credit where it’s due.

Please sort Castle Gardens out. It should be a centre piece. Just looks rundown and tired. Huge improvements overall though.

Pop up food outlets serving street food would transform the gardens.

Wouldn’t take a lot. Bit of greenery, sort the fountain out and absolutely pop up food outlets.

Doesn’t need major investment, just a bit of tidying up.

Myself I'd like to see the gardens restored, a nice piece of greenery wouldn't go amiss there, although it is nice to see we are blessed with some great landscapes including our natural bay , not some flooded mud flats I could mention.

Rob Stewart and the much maligned council are really trying their best. A bit more funding from The Senedd would be well spent in their hands.
