SA1 Swansea Waterfront could have been a much greater success if more money had been spent on infrastructure leading to it.

So says council leader Chris Holley who criticises the small amount of funding given to the project in comparison with that spent on Cardiff Bay. Councillor Holley says the infrastructure from the M4 is good until you get to Amazon but "it deteriorates rapidly after that".

This is slightly puzzling. In our opinion the roads leading to SA1 are perfectly adequate. It's when motorists try to leave SA1 and drive into the city that their troubles begin.

Jams between SA1 and the sweep of the bay could well give potential investors pause for thought, as could the 50mph stretch of the M4 through Port Talbot, but this can't be the whole story.

Bemoaning the fact that SA1 is Cardiff Bay's poor relation will not get us anywhere. Cardiff Bay spreads across a far wider area and contains several national status buildings.

Bearing grudges won't get Swansea anywhere. We would be better served concentrating on how to take advantage of what we already have.
