The ever-popular "free bus travel in Swansea" deal is returning this summer, Swansea Council has confirmed. In an effort to support local people in the cost of living crisis, the council is reintroducing free bus travel in and around the city during the school summer holidays. The scheme last ran during the Easter break and was used by thousands of people of all ages.
Eligible journeys will be completely funded by the council throughout the six-week break, as well as at set times during the Christmas break later this year, the council says. Other schemes being funded by the council's budget this year include improvements to bus shelters, the replacement of old litter and dog mess bins, investment in road repairs and more dropped kerbs being constructed in areas of high footfall.
Plus, Swansea Council is also providing extra resources for its draining teams to help reduce the chance of flooding issues affecting local communities - and have set aside £1m for projects to support "areas of most need" as well as extensive improvements to city playgrounds and the introduction of "nature trails" in set areas.
