Swansea Council’s Chris Holley has lashed out at local politicians who he says “don't want to see the city be successful” - as if he and his cronies have ever done anything meaningful in that respect in the past seven years.

His pointless outburst is likely to back-fire though as it was actually the secretary local of the Federation of Small Businesses in Swansea Bay who described the situation in the city centre as “dire”. In the same vein, city traders have slagged off the council over problems with road works, high rent, parking and drugs. It's small wonder as very few of the business owners who attended a recent meeting with Holley thought that the Lib Dem leader had any sort of grip on the key issues. One trader described him as "clueless and out of touch".
Council spinners are talking about “short term solutions to help traders” but it's likely that Swansea's commercial community are thinking in terms of something more permanent – like kicking out Holley and his bunch of losers. It's an attractive thought but could the city's opposition parties really do any better?

Whatever happened to Rene Kinzett's proposal for an elected mayor Swansea, I guess it went the same way as Jonathan Morgan's similar one for Cardiff.
Whatever happened to Rene Kinzett, full stop.
"Whatever happened to Rene Kinzett, full stop."
Who?
I am told that Geraint Davies was no better informed during the meeting with traders. He kept having to be remined that the venue was in High Street. That's the trouble with parachutists.
