Lots of money being spent regenerating the town centre in Swansea , not before time . Not many cities that have a front that has a walking , cycle path for 10 miles . Cardiff has become a fantastic city and I can't see Swansea catching up to quite the place Cardiff is . It will certainly move on from the tip it is and hopefully become something close to the city it should be . Other than a few idiots I would imagine most sensible thinking people would rather see Welsh cities /towns improve rather than having a race to the bottom .
