Progress continues to be made on the city centre site of Swansea’s emerging new community services hub Y Storfa.
Once open it’ll be home to facilities such as a new central library including a new children’s library.
Other council-run services there will include those such as the contact centre, Housing Options, lifelong learning and the West Glamorgan Archive Service.
Non-council tenants are set to include Careers Wales, Citizens Advice and Swansea University’s South Wales Miners’ Library.
Council leader Rob Stewart said: “Y Storfa will be a fantastic location for people to access essential services.
“This area of the city centre is being transformed with a great mix of public and private sector investment.”
At Y Storfa, recent weeks have seen main contractors Kier Group continue work on elements such as the installation of:
- a steel framework for a three-storey central stairway
- beach hut-style meeting pods for Careers Wales
- internal and external widows
- external cladding panels.
The city centre project, in the former BHS store in Oxford Street, is on course for completion this year. Funders include the Welsh Government Transforming Towns programme.
