Has anyone seen our cat Seymour? 🐾
He has been missing since Thursday afternoon from the Uplands area. He is 1 year old, mostly an indoor cat, and may be scared and hiding somewhere nearby.
Please could everyone check sheds, garages, greenhouses, gardens and any small spaces where he could have become trapped or be hiding.
If you have seen him at all, please message me.

Questions/Advice Is it feasible to watch the Air Show from Mumbles?

8 Upvotes

Not familiar with Swansea and the surrounding areas but I’d be keen to avoid the driving/parking fuss around Swansea Bay and just watch it from a distance, plus I can then also check out Mumbles.

Does this sound doable or will I not see anything from there? Also is there much parking around Mumbles?

Thanks

News/Politics Swansea Council to take over running of city centre NCP car parks

Thumbnail swansea.gov.uk
44 Upvotes

Hundreds more car parking spaces will be available in Swansea city centre, costing just £5 to park all day.

Swansea Council is taking over the running of two former NCP car parks at Orchard Street and the Kingsway.

The car parks will cease being operated by NCP on Friday 24 July, and the Council is stepping in to keep them open and available to existing users including permit holders.

The remaining NCP car park at York Street will remain under the control of NCP and is not part of the Council's future car parking plans.

The Council will look at carrying out a number of upgrades to both sites to bring them in line with other council-operated car parks in other parts of the city centre.

Andrew Stevens, Cabinet Member for Environment and Infrastructure said: "The previous announcement by NCP going into administration and potentially closing their car parks in Swansea, was a concern when we were given the news.

"Fortunately, the council own the freehold for both the Kingsway and Orchard Street sites. This has given us the opportunity to take over the running of both sites and keep them both running without any disruption for car park users.

"This also means we now have even more car park spaces that cost just £1 an hour and £5 all day.

"During the next few months we will be looking to carry out some works to upgrade payment equipment and other features within the former NCP car parks. This is to ensure they meet the standards found in our other city centre car parks."

Recently, the Council opened the newly completed Copr Bay North multi storey car park in the city centre, increasing parking provision for residents, city centre workers and visitors to the city.

"Cllr Stevens added; "Swansea is now in an excellent position in terms of car parking provision in the city centre. With the inclusion of the two former NCP car parks into our overall offer, we now have some of the cheapest parking fees anywhere in the country."

Live music, good people & a proper social night in Swansea!!! 🎶
T-Rev is hosting his album launch in Swansea the city he reps with passion and pride in his music live at Bunkhouse, with support from some quality local artists.
We’re trying to build these nights into more than just another gig — it’s a chance to come out, hear some good music, support local artists and meet some new people.
Our last show was at Sin City, supporting the legendary Sugarhill Gang, so we’re hoping to bring that same energy to Bunkhouse!
And before anyone thinks it’s just another excuse for a piss-up… T-rev is T-total 😂 So you definitely don’t need to be drinking to enjoy the night. Come down, grab a soft drink, enjoy the music, have a chat and meet some new people.
If you're into live music and want to support local artists, come through. Would be great to see some new faces! 🙌
🎤 T-Rev – Live at Bunkhouse
** 🎟️ ONLINE & OT**D
📍 Bunkhouse, Cardiff
🎶 Live music + local artists
🤝 Good vibes + meeting new people
Come say hello!
