Swansea: Mumbles trade drops after flood defence work, say firms

Local councillor Francesca O’Brien said there was a “perfect storm” of issues having an effect on businesses, including cuts to bus services and limited parking.

“Although the work will look fantastic in the future, businesses are worried about the here and now,” she said.

“We’ve been asking for two things, to improve the bus service in Mumbles and most importantly the support for businesses.”

A council spokesperson said it recognised “the genuine concerns raised by businesses, but this work is essential to prevent flooding of businesses and homes, while the enhanced promenade will make Mumbles an even more desirable destination, benefiting business for many years to come”.

The spokesperson called the £25m the biggest investment in Mumbles for generations.

“During the work hundreds of public parking spaces remain Mumbles, with some new spaces created at the roadside.

“The council has worked closely with the contractors to do all we can to minimise the inconvenience of what is a major infrastructure improvement.”
