Wow. I passed there yesterday, and I really can't believe they have sold the car park there to coastal, WTF, even when there car park was operative you would struggle to park by there. I really feel sorry for the small business, they are truly ferked

I marvel at people who run small businesses. How on Earth some of them survive is a mystery. I doubt this will help.

When I've been down there over the years, it's been absolutely rammed. Think last time I parked there was a few year ago, had an appointment at Vinnys for micro suction, and I was panicking because the car park was full, luckily someone left.

Hmm, I am going to get that, I like spinach, tomatoes and quiche, never tried that, but it sounds awesome.

If you are from the area, I won't dispute what you say, I can only speak from personal experience.

Your point stands up though mate, the only car park disappearing in a busy shopping area shows how the council swings these days, but at least it's housing association that's being built...

That's how Swansea Labour roll, most prob gearing it up for the 15min cities, After reading the article, I would like to know when coastal bought that, as far as I can remember that place has been a car park since the 60's.

Uplands is always generally very busy, no major car park there. It was absolutely rammed this afternoon, and they hold a monthly market there that gets a lot of people attending.
