🚨 Exciting plans for Swansea’s Kilvey Hill have a stormy twist! While the new adventure park promises to bring thrills with ziplines, luge tracks, and more, not everyone’s a fan. Tensions have boiled over as some opponents have crossed the line with threats and harassment, prompting police involvement. 😬
Swansea Council leader Rob Stewart has addressed these concerns, emphasising that while debate and disagreement are part of democracy, intimidation and violence are not. The upcoming park, led by New Zealand’s Skyline Enterprises, aims to transform Kilvey Hill with a gondola lift, sky swing, and mountain biking trails. 🌳🚡
Supporters believe the park could be a major win for tourism and local jobs, while critics worry about changes to this beloved peaceful escape and question the co-investment by the council and Welsh Government.
The project has secured planning permission and work is underway, including careful measures like tree replacement and biodiversity efforts. It’s a tale of passion and progress, showcasing the different visions for Swansea’s future. Let us know what you think! 🤔🌟
