Don't ruin it with rows

I Attended the Better Swansea Partnership meeting held at the Dylan Thomas Centre recently as one of many business leaders and community councillors from across Swansea.The BSP meeting was a day-long event and presentations were made by city officials on progress that is being made to revitalise Swansea. Plans for the further development of the city were also outlined.

What came across to all present was a general feeling of confidence. This was reflected in discussions with various business leaders who all felt that after years of stagnation under Labour (remember their long-harboured but over-ambitious plans for Castle Quays), the present administration is turning the fortunes of Swansea around.There is a positive buzz about Swansea and its future.

At a time when things are improving, it is a pity that minor squabbles among the parties that form the administration are in danger of undermining what, together, they were all managing to achieve. I hope the parties can put their differences behind them and continue the excellent work they have embarked upon.
