We note that Labour continue to mock the new road system being installed in Swansea City Centre, but are they really in touch with what voters are thinking?In this article in yesterday's Evening Post a Kingsway trader is quoted as saying that "The council has done an excellent job of improving the look of the Kingsway and the surrounding area. The flow of traffic has also improved." This appears to be a common view and is one reflected amongst taxi drivers, a normally reliable barometer of public opinion. Labour are living in the past.
The brothers and sisters are also scathing about the time being taken to get the city centre strategy right. Quite why they feel that they have to repeat the cost of this strategy is beyond us. After all it was the previous Labour Administration who commissioned it and it is the Labour Assembly Government who is helping to pay for it.
We have had decades of Labour failure to get things moving in the City Centre, now at last there is some action. Important as the policy framework is, we are not going to sit around waiting for it to be completed. The future prosperity of Swansea is more important than that. Not that we would expect Labour to understand. This Administration has succeeded in getting investors interested again. All Labour can do is sneer from the sidelines.
