Reading this article in tonight's Evening Post it is difficult to recognise the can-do Councillor that Robert Francis-Davies used to be. The man who closed Swansea Leisure Centre is now a shadow of his former self. as is evident by the sheer incoherence of his little rant.He and his fellow Morriston Councillors have been doing their best to stir up opposition in their ward to the street cars, despite the fact that no decision has been taken on the route it will be taking or that all their fears have been dismissed by experts as unfounded. The number of red herrings they have been throwing up can only lead an independent observer to conclude that their motives have more to do with shit-stirring for the sake of it than any genuine concern.
If Robert Francis Davies had actually bothered to try out a bendy bus for himself then he would see that they are more than capable of negotiating the church in the middle of the road and Woodfield Street without any undue disruption. As for Chemical Road, it has never been stated that this is on the planned route. Indeed it is more likely that an alternative way to Morriston Hospital will be used.
