Two shops in the middle of one of Swansea's most prominent streets look set to be demolished over fears that they are "unsafe". Swansea Council has been asked to grant permission for 226 and 226A High Street to come down.
Coastal Housing Group is behind the plans, and planning documents put forward as part of its bid describe how there is "a risk of masonry collapsing onto the public footway" from the three-storey building which houses the shops.

In the meantime, safety measures have been placed around the building to protect the public, like scaffolding, fencing and concrete blocks. It is not the only building surrounded by scaffolding in Swansea city centre at the moment. Shops and cafes along Princess Way have been covered in it since 2018.
