Supermarket chain set for Swansea's High Street

“Crick, that eyesore is being renovated to an extreme. Were not not aware? Here is a link to what the plan includes: http://tinyurl.com/8wzmou7

On topic, Sainsbury's have confirmed that they are NOT the supermarket chain rumoured to be moving in to one of the new buildings. To be honest, I am not surprised it isn't them. There is one supermarket chain that as of yet still has no presence in Swansea, Waitrose. This is complete conjecture from my part, but considering it is a more upmarket variant of supermarket chain regarding prices, it would not surprise me if they planned to open a new shop in what is going to turn into one of the more affluent area's of the city.

You only have to see the plans, and then interiors of the buildings already built, that the Urban Village is not intended for those on benefits. I don't wish to sound mean, but the affluent an area, the tougher police get to remove the riff raff from the area. High Street will likely be transformed beyond recognition.”

“So basically there is a rumour that a big supermarket chain are in talks with a view to possibly opening a small "local" style store? If it does come to fruitition I'll be interested to see what "fresh blood" there is on this depressing eyesore of a street to be sucked out by it, as Stephen G11 seems to think?”

“I should have added, which supermarket chain? bet it is another Tesco, probably the small local format, to suck some of the fresh blood out of the street.”

“Lot's of amusing comments here but personally I think that High street has already improved beyond recognition from 2 years ago and the siting of the Quadrant where it is had much more to do with the previous dreliction than did the 20 or so deadbeats who now infest the area. as to the "up market brothel area" when on earth was that?!”

“Different type of incident that :)”

“Hacker, I saw a 21 year old student using it a lap dancing pole once... but not sure if that is an issue.”

“Jules, you don't trust traffic lights? Do you not cross the road at all anywhere then?

Personally I have never seen a single incident or issue with the lights or traffic in that area.”

“There are a million places a job centre can go, and the same goes for the housing office and the hundreds of flats there that are mostly filled with people who have not done a days work in years.

Nothing wrong with them being there no, but its laughable people then act all surprised that the area is a dive, what did you think these people were going to bring to the area.

The area is like that becausee of the majority of people go there are not functional.
I see them drinking and taking drugs on a daily basis, hanging outside the job centre swearing spitting, I admit these are mostly young people, but they look like and sound dysfunctional to the point where you know they are going nowhere fast and will only bring the area down.

Go and check out the crime stats in the gower and compare it to a council estate on the outskirts of swansea, you will see EXACTLY what I mean.

you can also start by knocking down the full moon pub and the swans, which looks to be nothing more than a community centre for unemployed alcoholics.

I see them all the time, smoking outside the pub with that look of liver damage in their eye.

Move the trash out and things will improve. Its that simple and will not change unless you do that, so decide what you want, a hovel, or a place you might want to visit.”
