I think that Swansea city council has done a fantastic job in terms of the way that they’re starting to regenerate their community, and £11.76 million has been issued to Swansea council from the Welsh Government in terms of partnership. Public and private investment, totalling around £69 million up to 2017, will be invested in that community, and we are actually seeing a difference in the high street vista. I know where the train station is because, when you come out of the train station and turn right, my plaque is on the side of the wall, when I opened it with regard to Vibrant and Viable Places, so I am familiar with the area.

What’s important here is that we have community intervention, looking at what’s good for the community and how we can make sure that that involvement is continued, but well done, Swansea council.
