If you've driven along Oystermouth Road in Swansea in recent weeks, you will have spotted a large amount of scaffolding and construction work taking place outside Swansea Arena. Scaffolding can be spotted alongside the spiral staircase area, and blocking off the concrete staircase leading up to the entrance of the 3,500 capacity attraction.
It has been put in place to allow 'finishing works' to be competed, Swansea Council has said. They have been described as 'snagging works', a slang word used in the construction industry to describe the process of checking building works before they finish, and compiling a list of unsatisfactory or outstanding works to be done.
The council had previously said that the spiral staircase had been gathering too much rain, so contractor Buckingham Group, was to carry out upgrade works. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
