Moving backwards

This week, Swansea Council’s ruling cabinet is poised to deliver yet another body blow to the city’s economic prospects when it agrees to a further set of traffic “improvements”.

A series of changes will block off vital north-south access points in order to help east-west through-traffic thus making an already un-navigable city centre even less attractive to visitors and passing trade. This dim-witted decision follows significant consultation with the usual stooges key stakeholders, or so the official report insists

No doubt the council’s burgeoning spin-corps will spout the usual yada-yada about regeneration and the importance of improving access to the waterfront – presumably in the forlorn hope that one day their ship will come in.
Sadly however the Lib Dem legacy for Swansea is likely to be no more than a lot of old boulevards.
