Like you I care about this area and want the best for it. That’s why I’m asking for your views today. Please take a minute to fill in my quick survey, to help me fight for our community.
As summer approaches, your FOCUS team is keen to make sure the community has years of leaf litters and rubbish cleared up across the community.
Cllr Sam Bennett has committed £3k to buy planters for Dylan Thomas Square. These planters will add a much-needed splash of colour to the main outdoor space in Waterfront ward.
Cllr Sam Bennett has written to Swansea Council’s planning department with concerns over how out of date the SA1 master plan is.
Tax on city centre parking to remain in force.
In the last edition of FOCUS we reported that we were continuing to pursue Welsh Government to have 20mph signs added to the Eastern end of Langdon Road. We can confirm, Welsh Government contractors have come and added these signs. The road will not be painted to highlight the 20mph zone as this will become the default speed in Wales in September 2023.
A consistent complaint from residents is summer parking on Aurora Green. £4,000 had been ear- marked by Cllr Bennett to prevent this. Works being undertaken on Aurora means this area will become a builders compound for about a year. As part of the “putting right,” Cllr Bennett’s plans will be done by the builder, at no cost to the tax payer!
