Big Apple gets a reprieve

Spotted on Facebook, it seems that the Big Apple at Mumbles Head is going to be repaired after all. There were fears that the promotional feature which has lasted 80 years would have to be demolished after a boy racer tried to park in it earlier this year. The owners have now apparently announced that this bit of local folk heritage (which says a lot about Swansea) is to be reinstated to its former err... glory in time for next year's summer season.

Can't help feeling that the decision was down to a 27 thousand name on-line campaign petition rather than any commercial motive but it's the smart move nonetheless. Nice one.

Update: It's official.
