It is Swansea's newest multi-storey car park, situated opposite Swansea Arena. But people have been wondering why it is taking so long for the development to be completed, and the reason has now been revealed.
Paint which coats the steel is having to be removed and reapplied. An issue became apparent after the coating was added, which has resulted in a considerable amount of work to rectify. Sheeting has covered Copr Bay north car park as the defective paintwork has been dealt with, although it now only surrounds the bottom couple of storeys.

Swansea Council, which is behind the Copr Bay project, said remedial work was being carried out when asked by the Local Democracy Reporting Service if there was a paintwork issue. The council said the contractor was handling it - and also said there wasn't an issue with the steel itself, as had been suggested in some quarters.
