SWANSEA: Free buckets and spades on the prom as beach toy library restocked for summer

Families heading to Swansea beach this summer can borrow buckets, spades and other toys for free, with the seafront toy library restocked for the school holidays.

The wooden container sits on the promenade opposite The Secret’s new fish and chip kiosk. Take what you need, use it on the sand, drop it back before you head home.

There is no cost, no booking and nothing to sign.

The library has been topped up with new toys donated by The Secret, the bar and kitchen that has hosted the scheme since it started.

It has been running since August 2024, when the council teamed up with the venue to get families onto the sand without the boot full of plastic.

The container itself was decorated by children who attended the free Play Day Celebration at the National Waterfront Museum that summer, an event that drew around 3,000 youngsters.

Cabinet member for development Andrew Williams said: “Our beach toy library is a fantastic example of the simple ideas that can make a big difference.”

“It helps families enjoy everything Swansea Bay has to offer without extra cost, while also promoting sustainability and community spirit,” he said. “We’re very grateful to The Secret for their support in helping the scheme grow.”

When the library opened in August 2024, Ryan Hole of The Secret said: “At the Secret, supporting our local community is one of our key principles. We’re really grateful for the support we receive from the Swansea people, especially during the summer holidays where lots use the beach.”

“It’s a pleasure to be able to provide the toys to allow families to use the beautiful Swansea Bay,” he added.

Launching the scheme in August 2024, Swansea Council cabinet member Hayley Gwilliam said: “Going to the beach can be an economical day out, especially important for families on a budget, but when the weather is good what can beat time spent playing on the sand?”

“The Beach Library means that those that don’t have, or forget, their buckets and spades or bats and balls, can still enjoy their day,” she said.

Anyone with spare beach toys at home can add to the stock by putting them in the collection box on the prom.

The council asks only that toys are intact and undamaged, and that borrowers return what they take.

The scheme is one of a run of low-cost options the council points families towards over the summer holidays.

Swansea Bay’s sands stretch five miles from the marina to Mumbles, with the prom running the length of it.

The toy library is open every day of the year.

BLACKPILL LIDO: Pool could finally be open by Friday 10 July — with new sprinklers arriving Monday

Blackpill Lido is finally on course to reopen — with a council meeting told the popular Swansea Bay pool could be back in use by Friday 10 July.

Councillors heard at Thursday’s full council meeting that the replacement sprinklers are due to arrive on site on Monday, while the pool’s new flooring has been laid and will be sealed early next week.

Once that work is complete, the pool can be refilled — a process that takes several days — with the aim of reopening by the end of the week.

It would bring to an end a summer of frustration at one of the city’s most popular free attractions, which has yet to open at all this season.

The lido’s distinctive sprinklers were stolen just days before its planned bank holiday opening on 2 May, with police called in and CCTV checked in the hunt for the thieves.

The pool was then hit by a second problem when its specialist flooring came away, forcing it to be drained on a 30C half-term day.

The attraction remained shut as a heatwave loomed in June, with the council blaming the combination of the theft and the flooring faults.

On Tuesday, the council said the pool was set to reopen within weeks — and the update to councillors now puts a date on it for the first time.

The timeline would see the lido open comfortably before the school summer holidays begin later this month.

Blackpill Lido is free to use with no booking required, and is normally open daily from 9am to 5pm through to the end of September, with its shallow paddling pool, children’s play area, climbing rock and picnic facilities making it a favourite with young families.

Deck chairs are available to hire at the site for £3 a day, with public toilets on site and Clyne Gardens and Swansea Bay beach nearby.

The council is expected to confirm the final reopening date once the refill is under way.

SWANSEA: Battle of Britain Memorial Flight to return to Wales Airshow — with a rare chance to see wartime Dakota

One of the UK’s most iconic aerial displays is returning to Swansea this summer.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will once again take to the skies over Swansea Bay as part of the Wales Airshow on 25 and 26 July.

The Royal Air Force flight honours the men and women who served in the Second World War, flying under the motto “Lest We Forget”.

Organisers Swansea Council have confirmed the historic aircraft will perform across the seafront over the weekend.

This year’s display carries an unusual twist for aviation fans.

The flight’s famous Avro Lancaster — one of only two still airworthy anywhere in the world — is grounded this year for major maintenance, an overhaul carried out roughly every eight years to keep the 80-year-old bomber flying.

In its place, the display will feature the flight’s C47 Dakota — and that aircraft carries a remarkable history of its own.

The Dakota, ZA947, nicknamed “Kwicherbichen” by her crews, dropped airborne troops over Normandy on the eve of D-Day, before flying on to evacuate casualties and resupply Allied forces.

It is one of the most successful military transport aircraft ever designed, and a rare sight in a display line-up usually anchored by the Lancaster.

The flight is also expected to feature the Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane — the fighters synonymous with the Battle of Britain.

Tracey McNulty, the council’s head of cultural services, parks and cleansing, said it was a privilege to welcome the flight back.

“Their display is always a special moment, not just for aviation enthusiasts, but for everyone who appreciates the history and heritage they represent,” she said. “It’s a real privilege to see these aircraft flying over Swansea Bay.”

The Wales Airshow is one of the UK’s largest free events, drawing tens of thousands of people to the seafront each year.

This year there is an added attraction, with an evening show on the Saturday promising a display of “flying colours and excitement” after dark.

The weekend also includes military and civilian aircraft displays, interactive exhibits, food stalls and family activities along the prom.

Organisers are encouraging spectators to plan ahead, use public transport where possible, and arrive early to bag the best viewing spots.

Further details of the full flying programme are expected in the coming weeks, with more information available at walesnationalairshow.com.

£20m boost for Swansea Civic Centre days after MP’s call for action

In an opinion piece published by Swansea Bay News on Sunday, Mr Bell said reviving the Civic Centre should be the city’s “next big regeneration step” — and urged momentum behind the proposals.

Now, that push appears to have paid off.

The funding follows months of campaigning by the MP and is being described as a key step towards turning recently unveiled plans for the Civic Centre into reality — although it will still need to go through further checks, including due diligence and approval of a final business case, before it is formally released.

Those plans — drawn up with Swansea Council and development partners Urban Splash — would see the site transformed into a mixed-use destination, featuring cafes, bars, shops, workspaces and leisure space, alongside around 140 apartments and 15 commercial units.

Headline attractions include proposals for a saltwater lido and a new aquarium, with the latter designed as a “next generation” visitor experience combining live marine exhibits with cutting-edge digital technology.

The attraction is also expected to work closely with Swansea University’s marine experts, with a strong focus on education and conservation.

Swansea Bay News has charted the rapid progress of the scheme in recent weeks, from the release of the first artist impressions to cabinet backing and strong public interest during consultation.

But until now, a central question has remained: how the transformation would actually be funded.

The £20 million investment from the UK Government begins to answer that — and is expected to help unlock the next phase of the project as it moves beyond consultation, with a planning application anticipated later this year.

For decades, the Civic Centre has served as a base for council services, but with departments now relocating — including to the new Y Storfa hub — attention has quickly turned to the future of the prominent seafront complex.

Torsten Bell, MP for Swansea West said securing “major investment” in what he describes as an “iconic Swansea landmark” has been a “personal priority”.

Mr Bell said: “With £20m funding from the UK Labour Government, this is another big step forward for the city.

“With its prime spot overlooking the splendid curve of our beach, the building is crying out for a new lease of life. And that is exactly what we are going to give it, as we keep investing in Swansea’s future, not just remembering its past.

“Great progress has been made with the opening of Y Storfa and regeneration of the Palace Theatre. Works to improve Castle Gardens and open new offices from the Kingsway to St David’s are also underway. The momentum is real – it’s vital we harness it.”

He added that the Civic Centre funding is part of a wider package of UK Government investment in Swansea, including a further £20 million through the Pride in Place scheme, as well as commitments to rail improvements and the proposed Swansea Bay Metro.

Cllr Rob Stewart, Leader of Swansea Council, said the funding represented a major vote of confidence in the city’s wider regeneration plans.

He said: “We want to see the Civic Centre transformed into a high-quality landmark destination for living, working and enjoying, with new homes, independent businesses and leisure spaces that benefit local people while attracting more visitors to Swansea.”

He added that the waterfront site offered “one of the most spectacular locations in the UK” and said the investment would help the project move forward more quickly.

Jo Stevens, Secretary of State for Wales, said the funding would help unlock the full potential of the site.

She said: “This investment will help deliver ambitious plans for the Civic Centre and transform this part of the city, making the most of its spectacular location and strengthening Swansea as a destination for visitors.”

The redevelopment also forms part of a broader wave of regeneration across the city, linking the waterfront site with ongoing changes in the city centre and beyond.

If delivered, the scheme could provide a significant boost to the local economy, with estimates suggesting it could generate around £17 million a year and support more than 300 jobs across hospitality, retail, leisure and building management, alongside additional roles linked to the proposed aquarium.

While key details — including timelines for construction and how the scheme will be delivered — are still to be confirmed, a planning application is expected later this year as proposals continue to be developed.

The funding itself remains subject to final approvals, but the announcement marks the clearest sign yet that the recently revealed plans are now moving from ambition towards delivery.

And coming just days after the issue was put firmly back in the spotlight, it suggests momentum around Swansea’s Civic Centre is building fast.

Opinion | Torsten Bell MP: Reviving Swansea’s Civic Centre must be the city’s next big regeneration step

Torsten Bell is the Labour MP for Swansea West. The views expressed in this article are his own.

As progress revitalising Swansea gathers pace, the exciting plans to give the Civic Centre a new lease of life must now be turned into action. The key to doing so is unlocking the cash required – and it’s a personal priority for me as Swansea West MP that we secure it.   

Swansea has been capturing imaginations long before the descriptions of Dylan Thomas made us famous for our ugly-lovely sprawl. And over the past few years, major progress has been made breathing new life a city steeped in industrial and cultural heritage.   

Historic landmarks like the Palace Theatre and Albert Hall have been restored, and new landmarks like the Arena and Y Storfa have joined them. Work on Castle Gardens is underway, and a £20 million investment by the UK Government will see communities north of the train station – home to ten thousand and passed through by thousands more each day – revitalised.    

Redeveloping the Civic Centre is clearly the next major task, now that services like the library have been moved to Y Storfa. With its prime spot overlooking the splendid curve of our beach, the building is crying out for a new lease of life.   

That’s more than just wishful thinking. I’ve been working with Swansea Council and its development partner Urban Splash on the vision for the Civic Centre’s renewal. Exciting new artist impressions illustrate the potential if plans for 600 new homes – along with new cafes, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities – are realised.   

One key barrier remains: securing the funding to turn these plans into action. As Swansea West’s MP, this challenge is a personal priority for me. Doubling down on efforts to regenerate Swansea, that the Labour council has done a great job of driving, has never been more important.   

If we want things to keep moving in the right direction, now is the time to act. Giving the Civic Centre a new lease of life would not just protect an important part of our past. It would help build the Swansea of the future. That is a prize worth fighting for and I’ll be doing more than my share of the fighting.

EXCLUSIVE: £130k permanent Covid memorial to be created on seafront

Swansea Council, who are behind the project, say that the £130,000 reflective public artwork will offer a quiet space for remembrance and contemplation overlooking Swansea Bay.

Work on the project is expected to begin in April and will be located near the iconic Slip Bridge.

Designed by Welsh glass artist Catrin Jones and sculptor Angharad Pearce Jones, the memorial will be fabricated at a metal workshop in the Amman Valley.

The council confirmed that the design features sculpted steel forms and coloured glass, which will sparkle in the sunlight to symbolise resilience and hope.

It includes three glass circles inspired by the colours of the peacock butterfly — a symbol of endurance and transformation.

The memorial will be set between two trees on a grassed area already used for reflection, featuring gentle seating and wildflower planting.

New accessible paths will also be installed to ensure the site is open to all visitors.

Cllr Elliott King, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Human Rights and Equalities, said: “The impact of Covid continues to be felt every day.”

He added: “Too many families lost loved ones, and many key workers, volunteers, neighbours and friends carried us through the most difficult times.”

“The council made a promise that Swansea would honour every person who was affected, and this memorial will provide a permanent place to remember them.”

Artists Catrin Jones and Angharad Pearce Jones said the project was deeply informed by the city’s collective memories of the pandemic.

Catrin Jones said: “This memorial brings together light, colour and nature to create a calm and thoughtful space by the sea.”

“We wanted to offer something gentle, symbolic and enduring, a place that holds people’s stories with care.”

Angharad Pearce Jones added: “People spoke about grief, resilience and the small acts of kindness that helped them through Covid.”

“The design reflects those emotions, the distances we had to keep, the connections we tried to maintain, and the hope that carried us forward.”

Welsh Government says South West Wales bathing waters rated ‘excellent’ – but sewage and pollution issues cast shadow

The 2025 results, published this week, show that 98% of bathing waters across Wales met strict environmental standards following monitoring by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). Officials say the findings demonstrate the resilience of Wales’s beaches and the success of ongoing efforts to protect water quality.

Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca‑Davies said the results reflected “our commitment to protecting water quality” and praised communities and partners for working together towards a cleaner Wales.

Mary Lewis, Head of Natural Resource Management at NRW, added:

“Our wonderful beaches and bathing waters are an important part of Wales’s identity and culture… The results reflect the dedication of our teams, partners, environmental groups and communities who protect and care for our environment.”

Local results at a glance

Sewage spills and enforcement fines temper the good news

While the classifications are positive, they come against a backdrop of ongoing public concern about water quality.

Residents in Gower have repeatedly voiced frustration over sewage spills affecting popular beaches, saying they feel “pooped off” by the frequency of incidents. Campaigners argue that these spills undermine public confidence in official bathing water ratings.

💧 What do bathing water ratings mean?

Excellent
The highest standard. Water quality is consistently very good, giving strong reassurance for swimmers and visitors.

Good
Meets high standards but with occasional dips in quality. Still safe for bathing, though less consistent than ‘excellent’ sites.

Sufficient
Passes the minimum EU and UK requirements. Bathing is permitted, but water quality may be variable and less reliable.

Poor
Fails to meet the required standards. Official advice is against bathing due to risks to health.

Who sets the ratings?
Natural Resources Wales monitors designated bathing waters during the season (May–September) and classifies them under Welsh Government regulations.

Why it matters:
Ratings guide public health advice, tourism confidence and environmental management. They reflect long‑term monitoring, not just daily conditions.

Rivers and coastlines under pressure

Beyond the beaches, rivers in South West Wales have also been highlighted as pollution hotspots. The River Tawe was recently ranked among the most sewage‑affected in the UK, raising questions about how inland water quality connects to coastal bathing standards.

In Pembrokeshire, warnings have been issued about sewage pollution at popular beaches, prompting local MPs to challenge regulators and water companies during Welsh Affairs Committee hearings.

Calls for reform and a sewage action plan

The wider debate has led to growing political pressure. Campaigners and politicians, including Welsh MPs, have called for a national sewage action plan to tackle pollution at its source. At the same time, Welsh Government has outlined plans to overhaul water regulation, promising reforms that put “people, the environment and future generations at its heart.”

Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca‑Davies acknowledged that climate change and heavy rainfall — including 170% of average levels in September — can significantly affect water quality. He said maintaining standards will require “sustained investment, innovation, and partnership working across all sectors.”

A mixed picture for South West Wales

The headline figures show South West Wales beaches performing strongly, with almost all rated ‘excellent’. But the wider context of sewage spills, enforcement fines and river pollution means the story is more complex.

For swimmers and visitors, the classifications provide reassurance about water quality at designated sites. Yet campaigners insist that behind the ratings lies a system under strain, with regulators, water companies and government facing mounting pressure to deliver lasting improvements.
