A footnote to the flurry of concerns printed by the Beans on Toast earlier this month about the many problems confronting Swansea’s city centre is that the newspaper has decided to take direct action - by moving out.
Sources tell us that the EP will be finalising business plans in the coming months to up sticks and move to new leased offices in the SA1 area. It is also claimed that a deal has already been agreed by South West Wales Media to sell their Adelaide Street premises – a notable architectural carbuncle in the middle of a conservation zone – to an adjacent & ambitious land owner.
The move allegedly has the blessing of council leader Chris Holley who is said to have agreed (during recent post-match inebriations at Liberty) to describe the action as a ‘positive move’ for the city. Once described by a developer connected to a certain skyline development as a “feckin’ eejit”, Holley is known for his embarrassing interjections in regeneration matters but even he couldn’t be so dumb as to give this particular move his endorsement. Could he?
