Golden Bridge Over Oystermouth Road

[Jack2jack]

i think it would be better if the bildings around it werent multi coloured which appears to be the councils new obsession. Driving into city centre from fabian way before you get to the quay parade bridge you can see the blocks in the distance all multi coloured. Looks like a fucking lego set ffs

There's lots a building going up, with this multi coloured theme in squares or rectangular form.
I'm guessing they are relatively cheap to throw up, they won't stand the test of time.
I don't want to be negative, but it all looks a bit naff. Like you say a bit like Lego. :roll:

the coloured winndows/panels are atrocious, keep it simple ffs. Dare i say like those new builds in cardiff by the train station, classy looking full of glass. Have you seen the green and white one in the city centre? Looks like a cigarette packet ffs

Have a quick read of what some people post on Wales Online and their social media...people f*cking love having a moan about ANYTHING that is done in the city.

Student flats? "OMG WE HAVE ENOUGH STUDENTS DO SOMETHING FOR THE LOCALS!!!"

Shops being built? "FFS WE ALREADY HAVE A LIDL NOT FAR AWAY"

Restaurants? "FAR TOO EXPENSIVE FOR PEOPLE TO USE"

Transport links? "OMG REMEMBER THE BENDY BUSES!!!"

Indoor arena? "WHY ON EARTH DO WE NEED THIS SPEND THE MONEY ON LOCAL BUSINESSES!!!"

Any form of architecture? "JESUS THAT IS SO UGLY WHY ARE WE SPENDING ON THIS, WHO SIGNED THIS OFF?!"

Seriously - people f*cking live for this shit. Does the bridge look nice? Well, it's certainly unique and will be iconic in Swansea for years to come.

It's big, bold and blingy and I like it. Very Swansea indeed.

I drove by earlier. It's excellent. Certainly something forward looking and different from out of the box bridges in many other cities. We'll done Swansea Council.

It's a f*cking bridge ffs :lol:

It's like every year when we bring a new kit out, and you have fat middle aged men grizzling over what it looks like :roll:
