Promises of jam tomorrow by a tired-looking Lib Dem administration have failed to excite Swansea’s traders. In fact there is little support for the prospect of more streets being dug up to accommodate a new boulevard as part of more piecemeal city centre redevelopment works. Even Peter Birch, notable council stooge and former Independent candidate, poured cold water on the proposal.
He told the local paper, "Long term, I am for this development, but I feel the city needs a rest from all the development. We need to attract customers back into the town before this goes ahead. It is going to cause major disruption to the south end of the city.
"We are streets behind places like Cardiff. I want a European boulevard but, I would add, at what cost?"
