South Wales Evening Post - 14 March 2007
Swansea Council has been urged to get on with the much-needed revamp of the Quadrant bus station as soon as possible.
Assembly Member for South West Wales Dai Lloyd called for work to begin on the project after Swansea Council won an £8.23 million Assembly grant for transport improvements in the city.
He said it was now time to stop all the talk and start the work.
"The people of Swansea have been told time and time again that the redevelopment of the Quadrant is just around the corner," he said.
"Yet we see no real progress.
"Surely, the fact that this planning application has been approved, coupled with the news that the Labour Assembly Government has finally put some money forward means that people should not have to wait that much longer.
"There has been much talk, but little action on this issue. It is time to get on with the job so that Swansea can finally boast a transport hub that a regional capital can be proud of. The current third rate facility simply will not do."
A spokesman for Swansea Council said: "The council's number one priority for future projects is the redevelopment of the Quadrant Bus Station."
