“Perhaps this would be the perfect place to relocate the Patti Pavilion? After all, the original structure is prefab and it is surely in the wrong place at the moment. Could even share the Grand's toilets!!

Re Martin's comments, I think Tesco would be happy to build that sort of structure anywhere, indeed everywhere. As I recall, the Council, bless them, actually turned down Tesco's planninga application but lost on appeal to the Welsh Office.

Anyway, the sooner it moves the better. That seems to be part of the grand plan now but I suppose will have to wait til after the current global financial crisis.”

“I couldn't agree more with the majority of the comments. Pie in the sky plans that may eventually materialise into a cheap and cheerful end result. All too often Swansea has to make do with less inspiring developments, such as the ghastly looking Tesco stores with their dirty rusty white steel framework. Would they have built a store of that appearance in a town or city centre in the south east of England? It's about time that Swansea City councillors stood up for this city and demanded better.”

“Once again a superb plan that tickles the minds of the ever patient Swansea public.

Unfortunately the council don't seem to be able to deliver.It's consultants followed by faesability followed by petty in fighting followed by consultants folowed by half baked low quality builds.

The chief exec and leader should resign. They've delivered little in terms of regeneration of landmark city centre and waterside sites.A neglected city centre and High Street are a worry.

This spin must end. Presentations and glitzy plans mean nothing when the city seems to struggle in terms of modest planning decisions.

There are no landmark scemes. No landmark funding seems to have been secured and it's all quiet on the landmark private partnership front.

As mentioned earlier, let's see St Davids centre bulldozed and an ambitious retail scheme built there. In the interim let's see small independent traders given a chance with lowered rates

Some of the decaying buildings of High St are about to be destroyed as part of a housing association scheme.

Let's hope the final product is a bit more professional and ambitious than the Patti and the old David Evans site. Both have had their problems.”

“sounds great But can we have some SOLID news on the current developments. such as the st davids area tesco parc tawe.
basically can we have a proper update from hammerson / urban splash??”

“This sounds a great idea but I suspect that it should be the icing on the cake. As others have commented, we really need to sort out High Street as the top priority. I can't wait to see the St David's Centre go too - that would be a marvellous location for a real City Centre Square with cafes, shops etc.

Whist we are on the subject, which Council had the silly idea of pulling down the historic Oxford St School, to leave an ugly scar of a car park on the landscape? The same one that built St Davids Centre and Castle Square by any chance?”

“This is a very nice idea, I like it a lot. I believe very strongly in supporting small businesses which is why I enjoy visiting places like Carmarthen and Llandeilo. But please Swansea Council, offer cheaper and better parking. The current situation is ridiculous.”

“Wht do we need yet more apartments ? There is not enough employment in Swansea to justify this sort of development. With cafes/restaurants closing at a faster rate than ever before who would take on these Covent Garden style outlets. Lower Oxford Street is not Covent Garden so lets try and be realistic. Remember the fantastic new shopping mall - all two shops of it.

High street is a disgrace and the castle square is embarrasing - lets finish what has been started first.

Who voted for this Holley bloke - hes a joke.”

“Yet more potentially unfinished projects to compliment the current crop. Spend more time looking at your mess ups in Swansea, not other areas of the UK. Like one reader commented, our cafe quarter has turned out great, you should feel proud walking down wind street not embarrased at the vomit, urine, sexual antics, young girls intoxicated with drink, fighting, do i need to go on!!!!!!”

“I hope they make sure there is pleny of car parking in the plans. There is not enough in Swansea to cope with the current traffic and now they are talking about taking away the Oxford St car park. Not everyone can or wants to catch a bus.”

“I think it sounds great and I fully agree with the comments of Steve from Mayals. I am inclined to also agree with some of the other comments though - why not finish what we have already started first and get things up and moving. High Street is awful and desperately needs a revamp, the David Evans development hasnt been the success thought, who knows what is happening with the new Quadrant project. It would be good to have something diverse and different in the town centre to attract people back in”
