Swansea development plans move forward
Plans for the regeneration of Swansea's former Hafod Copperworks site have moved forward after the local authority revealed that it was in talks with a potential development partner.
Swansea Council launched a search for a developer to lead the scheme in May and now plans to work alongside the potential partner to draw up a feasibility study and explore funding sources. The council's vision for the 12-acre (4.9-hectare) site - close to the River Tawe and the Liberty Stadium - includes a hotel and a restaurant, along with the restoration of historic buildings and new interpretation features.
Swansea Council leader Chris Holley said: "It's encouraging that we've received interest in our vision from a potential development partner despite the gloomy economic climate." Gareth Sullivan, the council's cabinet member for economic and strategic development and planning, added: "The aim here is to boost the economic vitality of this site and the waterfront while celebrating its heritage."
