We do not mind admitting that it took some time to get to grips with the mess that Labour left us in the City Centre. Things do not move quickly in the world of retail development and it has been difficult re-establishing Swansea's reputation as a place to do business. We still have some way to go on that.Although the Evening Post concentrated on plans to link up the Quadrant and St. David's Centre, the strategy which we have just published contains an important blueprint for the future. What is just as important is that at Council tonight there was all-party support for that vision.
Things are starting to look up for Swansea. New developments are coming on line, whilst developers are showing an interest in the City once more. Although Labour keep alleging that we are a one-trick Adminstration with regards to the Leisure Centre they may find, when it comes to facing the voters in 2008, we actually have quite a number of accomplishments under our belt and that a reviving City Centre is one of them.
