SHOPPING CENTRE TO BE DEMOLISHED (No, not what you're thinking)


Link to BBC South West Wales

"Large parts of Swansea's St David's Shopping Centre are to be demolished as the site has been bought by the city council and Welsh government.

"They say the deal for an undisclosed sum is part of their regeneration plans for the city centre.

"Council leader Chris Holley said:
"This is a hugely important site in the city centre, but it is largely empty, and has become detrimental to our overall aim of improving retail in the city centre.

It's clear that the city centre can't be regenerated without public sector intervention, and purchasing this site gives us the opportunity to work with our development partner Hammerson, to put in place a plan to redevelop the site and regenerate the city centre."
