Castle gardens has never reached its potential, whatever that was supposed to be, it's a cold uninviting place, with no character. I believe that behind the hoarding, they are carrying out preliminary ground works etc. I like Neath, it has suffered over the last few years mind., what with the...

Some poor decisions have definitely been made in recent times, I would agree👍

100% Coops, that's one of my biggest grips, 7 miles of nothingness.

It's a consequence of many factors, as have been discussed above. I do think after the war a blue print should have been laid down, albeit a fluid one. It's a hotch potch, with no cohesion whatsoever. 👍

It didnt help mind, but you have to wonder, with almost a blank canvas to work with how we've ended up were we are today Don't get me wrong there are some good bits, I just cant help thinking we've missed so many opportunities.

When would that have been, after the likes of Amazon flooded the market with cheaper goods or maybe after the councils in their infinate wisdom granted permission for out of town retail outlets to spring up everywhere with free parking. All of the above sounding the death nell for city centres...

Good post J. I'm not convinced there is that much to offer in Swansea centre after the shops close at 5 or whatever it is. Yes you have a bowling alley and cinema in Parc Tawe and some eateries, but I doubt that the clientele drift up to town after they finish down there, could be wrong. I dont...

It's been going down hill for years Leon, it used to be the place to go. I hardly visit these days there's nothing there, we like Trostre and Mac G. Bridgend, those two places have everything we need and parking is easy. The missus pops into town once a week, but that's about it.

Indeed, there seems to be a huge appetite to fill empty buildings and turn them into accommodation, personally I dont see the benefit. On paper it seems like a great idea, i.e. the more people you have living in the city centre, the more they actually spend there, however, this become a moot...

Isnt it possible block bots, or is it nigh on impossible.🤔

Apparently the council had been working with M&S for years to keep them in the city centre. At the end of the day if they (M&S) think it's a lost cause, then closure was inevitable. Another flagship shop gone, it's a real shame, for everyone concerned.

2-1💪

Yes, when I say elite, note I used a small 'e' as I hold them all with equal amounts contempt. The elite in this country covers a wide variety of arseholes who hold power, privilege and usually vast amounts of money, which makes them think they can do exactly as they please, usually with little...

Bang on, it could have been the jewel in the crown, wasted opportunities absolutely. They fvcked up yet again.

If only a tenth of the reports of what Epstein and his cronies got up to is true, its truly mind blowing. I'm lost for words. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The elite live in a completely different world to us ordinary folk, they give not a jot for anyone or anything, apart from...

Looks that way

Tough ask for GB.

Innit just watched the final, Groepper hit the deck, must have hurt himself, hell of a smash. I was think that myself, looks a stunning place.👍

It was a brilliant game, consisting of skill and strategy. Even the missus enjoyed it, which is a mark in the diary moment. It's not just about chucking a big stone down the ice and hoping for the best, it much more than than, anyhoo back to the curling bronze medal game, Rodney.😁👍
