More new images have been released which reveal the stunning new look planned for Swansea’s Castle Square. The area in the centre of the city is set to be transformed over the next year or so with a view to returning it to its former glory.
Castle Square used to be filled with more greenery than we see today, with lawned areas and flower beds acting as a backdrop to the retail shops in Oxford Street, the bars in Wind Street and other adjoining roads. This look was overhauled and replaced by the stark stone square we see today, but members of the public expressed a wish in an earlier consultation on a potential revamp to see more tress, grass and greenery at the site.

Now the public are again being asked to have their say on a new design proposal for Castle Square which has been developed by Swansea Council after initial design ideas were drawn up last year. You can read more about that here.
