Anyone driven through it since it reverted back to how it always should have been?
I made a couple of trips today, got down Walters Rd all the way to the Tesco Express without any queues and only got stopped there by a red light. Much better.
The Kingsway on the other hand, I was driving towards the Dragon Hotel and a van was driving straight down the middle of the road towards me, luckily he noticed me and pulled to the left. I do think there are too many zebra crossings and they have a bus stop on one side in the traffic lane when they have a load of space where Lee Trundles bar was for a pull-in... its bonkers

Our city is finally improving :) I took a drive myself and was a bit worried that people may forget after it being one way for so long. The green areas may help disguise those post war construction as well.
It looks very promising and lets hope that the university doesn't lose the chance to attract the masses of students to create a vibrant "town" city centre. |  |

It's brilliant, should never have been changed to a one way system.
It's working like clockwork |  |

Not Kingsway, but I went into the centre for the first time in ages yesterday. I know a lot of places are closed, but christ it looked a dump. The more of these redevelopments they can do, the better. Desperately needs an injection of life. It could be great if they use the seafront well. |  | | |

I liked the idea to put part of the road underground and have a pedestrian area at the bottom of Wind Street.
Then, I'm all for expanding the Promenade and putting the Mumbles train back so lets put all the Mumbles road underground and have a green area from the LC to Blackpill! Seperate cycling lanes and footpaths, picnic areas, an outdoor concert area with a jumbotron for live sport or when they wan to show films. Think big. | |

Any road in Swansea city centre that is underground will be below sea level. The old pedestrian subway at the bottom of wind street often use to flood when there was high tide. | |

I don't think shops will be coming back to fill the empty premises, online and out of town shopping will see to that, our city centre, like many others will diversify with a mixture of boutique shops, offices and bars and restaurants | | | |

Out of town will suffer too,all will.We face massive change and we really do not appreciate just how great it will be.We can't.
I hope I live long enough to Swansea as a place worthy of visiting . Coast is ok when its fine but when it rains ,its like most seaside town/cities.
Jeez,no more depressing place than Plymouth in the rain | |

I have been surprised at how few places have closed in Swansea. I expected worse. In the quadrant only TUI, Quiz and Menkind have yet to reopen. Thornton's have close permanently which I am surprised at as it seemed so busy.
Peacocks have opened yet in Swansea and Mumbles but has opened in Morriston. The What Shop was due to open yesterday and Warren James is reopening Saturday. Crouch Jewellers is undergoing a refit so hasnt yet reopened. Carphone warehouse has closed and Hays Travel hasnt yet reopened. Otherwise everywhere else is open.
Over 90% of the market traders will be open. The cafes could reopen yesterday and a couple of bakers were due to open today. I dont know if they have. Only a few other stalls havent yet reopened. | | | |

The new drainage system that they installed has collapsed and over the next few weeks, it all has to be dug up and re-laid. [Post edited 5 Aug 2020 14:52]

Many towns and cities are to be decimated and every day many sizeable one are going titsup.
Im not sure about markets in any town especially open air ones in northern towns | |

I have just come back from the city centre and confirm that nearly all stores and market traders are back. I was expecting far worse and agree with you that all shopping centres will decline. That is a fact that is going to happen with out of town shopping centres and online shopping. Swansea will also suffer like elsewhere. I did expect to see much more closed than has and it is a pleasant surprise the worse hasnt happened. | | | |

Tax.
It's purely personal,family based.
The city is not the glorious happy place I once knew and that is how I see it. I aint looking to disrespect anyone in saying that.
Jesus,people absolutely detest the county and its denizens I ve lived in for over 40 years yet I was fortunate to marry one of its daughters and raised a great family of which I am very proud.I am very protective of all that I hold dear and make no apologies for that. | |

I’ve been the first to knock the past redeployments of Swansea but I doo feel that at least the centre is going in the right direction. Hopefully it’ll continue in the right way but much work is still required. |  |
