HQ Urban Kitchen

It’s pretty easy to ‘dunk on’ Swansea’s city centre; with the closing high-street shops, lack of free parking and anti-social behaviour issues – BUT – I am a passionate defender! I’m going to write a whole post on this at some point – but quickly, I think it’s not fair to compare it to Cardiff,...
