Flood misery on key Gower road could finally be tackled – and drivers are being asked what they think

Drivers and residents are now being asked for their views on proposals to deal with repeated flooding on the A4118 near Scurlage and Llandewi Corner – a key route used by locals and visitors heading to the Gower coast.

The stretch of road can become completely impassable during heavy rain, leaving residents cut off and causing major disruption for motorists travelling through the area.

Council engineers are now looking at a range of possible fixes.

These include installing larger drainage pipes to carry more water, improving links between drainage systems and nearby streams, and even raising sections of the road so vehicles can still get through during downpours.

Other options being explored include nature-based measures designed to slow the flow of water before it reaches the road, as well as improving maintenance of the drainage network.

The proposals are still at an early stage, but the council says public feedback will help decide which solutions move forward.

Andrew Stevens, the council’s cabinet member for environment and infrastructure, said the flooding problems have been affecting the area for years.

“The route between Scurlage and Llandewi suffers from flooding when we have heavy rainfall and can make the road completely impassable,” he said.

“That can prevent residents from leaving or entering the area.

“We now want to look at the options developed and see which can help prevent this happening in the long term.”

The work forms part of a wider programme looking at flooding hotspots across Swansea’s road network.

Both the Scurlage location and another trouble spot at Killay Square have received funding through the Welsh Government’s Resilient Roads Fund, which has provided around £265,000 to investigate solutions.

While the Killay scheme has already moved further along in the design process, the Scurlage proposals are now entering the consultation stage.

Council chiefs say feedback from residents and road users will help shape the final plans before they bid for further funding to take the project forward.

People who want to have their say can complete the online consultation on the council’s website.

UPPER KILLAY: Former journalist’s lavender dream blooms after £50k grant transforms derelict farm

Rae Howells and her husband Phil Poucher, founders of Gower Lavender, have refurbished ruined brick sheds on their 10-acre farm in Upper Killay, creating a purpose-built, eco-friendly workspace for processing lavender and manufacturing a growing range of award-winning products.

The transformation was supported by Swansea Council’s Transforming County Anchor Placemaking Grant, which is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The expansion has already led to the creation of a new job and increased hours for existing staff at the burgeoning Gower business.

The couple founded Gower Lavender in 2017 after Rae lost her job in journalism.

“We had one lavender plant in our garden and a big dream to create an eco-friendly tourist business in Swansea,” said Rae.

“We’d visited lavender farms around the UK and couldn’t understand why there wasn’t anything like it in South Wales.

“When I lost my job, that lavender plant became my inspiration.”

The couple initially grew lavender in rented and borrowed fields across Gower, even supporting the National Trust with a new lavender field in Rhossili to test how the crop would fare in the Welsh climate.

Rae also trained in soap and skincare production, with early products made in the family garage and packaged using compostable materials featuring designs by local illustrator Hannah Davies.

Today, Gower Lavender supplies around 40 retailers, attends Uplands and Mumbles markets, and sells online. Its range includes award-winning soaps, lavender hand cream, pillow sprays and a popular lavender syrup used in coffees, cocktails and desserts.

After searching for several years, the family purchased a long-vacant farm in Upper Killay in June 2025, relocating their home and business. The grant funding enabled the restoration of neglected outbuildings into a modern workshop, providing space for new equipment and future product development.

Rae said: “The funding has helped us to build a modern, eco-friendly workspace for our business and our goal is that it will become an asset for Upper Killay, Gower and Swansea. The new premises has already enabled us to create employment opportunities and increase working hours.”

Cllr David Hopkins, Swansea Council Joint Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Delivery, said: “It’s fantastic to see how this funding has supported a local business to grow, create jobs and breathe new life into unused buildings.

“Gower Lavender is a brilliant example of innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship right here in Swansea.”

The business plans to plant its first acre of lavender this summer as it continues to grow.

MAN’S BODY FOUND: Tragic discovery at Gower beauty spot

The tragic discovery was made on the Gower beauty spot on Sunday morning, March 8.

South Wales Police had been conducting a search in the area after a missing man’s car was found in a car park at the popular location on Saturday, March 7.

Officers have now confirmed that a body was found on the sand at Rhossili, a beach often named among the best in the world.

While formal identification has not yet taken place, the family of missing man Matthew Whale has been informed of the development.

Mr Whale, 52, from the Killay area of Swansea, had been reported as a missing person, prompting the search operation.

His car was located in Rhossili, sparking a multi-agency response.

HM Coastguard teams were involved in the extensive search on Saturday afternoon.

Helicopters were also seen circling the area as part of the efforts to locate Mr Whale.

A spokeswoman for South Wales Police issued a statement on Sunday morning.

She said: “A body of a man has been found on Rhossili Beach, Swansea.”

“While formal identification has not yet taken place, the family of missing man Matthew Whale has been informed.”

The discovery has cast a sombre mood over the Gower community, an area renowned for its stunning natural beauty.

City leaders get hands-on in Gower to back ‘farm to fork’ food revolution

Members of the Swansea Public Services Board (PSB) made the trip to the great outdoors this week to visit Cae Tan Community Supported Agriculture, a working farm dedicated to sustainable growing.

The high-level delegation included representatives from Swansea Council, the Swansea Bay University Health Board, and Natural Resources Wales, all keen to support locally grown produce.

According to organisers, the visit showcased how seasonal vegetables are being supplied directly to Swansea households, bypassing traditional supermarket chains.

Members of the Swansea Public Services Board and Bwyd Abertawe partners during their visit to Cae Tan in Gower.

The event was co-ordinated by Bwyd Abertawe Food—Swansea’s Local Food Partnership—alongside teams dedicated to promoting healthy weight and nutritious diets across the region.

The group has confirmed that plans are now underway to develop a dedicated local food strategy for Swansea to ensure more families can access sustainable produce.

Dawn Lyle, Chair of Bwyd Abertawe Food, has said that “real momentum” is building around strengthening the food system in the city and surrounding areas.

“This gathering at Cae Tan gave us a valuable opportunity to hear directly about the realities faced by growers and farmers,” she confirmed following the visit.

Discussions focused on how to build a more resilient and sustainable food future for the Swansea Bay region.

The leaders also discussed how public sector organisations can use their massive buying power to put more Gower-grown food into schools and hospitals.

Grower Eva Walter-Jones, who welcomed the partners onto the land, has outlined exciting plans to expand vegetable supplies to local schools through the ‘Welsh Veg in Schools’ initiative.

“It was very positive to see so much joined-up thinking and an appetite to do more,” Eva has said, adding that the collaboration gives “a lot of hope” for the future.

Cllr Andrea Williams, Joint Deputy Leader of Swansea Council, has confirmed the authority’s commitment to the project, stating: “We must think differently about how we grow, buy and serve food.”

Gower beachside cafe owner retires after 54 years

By Pierre Donahue

If you’ve ever been to Caswell Bay chances are you might have bought a cone of chips, a Mr Whippy ice cream or even a classic bucket and spade from Robert and his family who have been owners of The Beach Shack since the 1950s. Rob himself has been working at Unit 1 since 1972 when he was a young man working for his parents.

“I’ve loved it here” says Rob of Brynhyfryd reflecting on his time at the helm. “I’m a people person and I like chatting to customers. It’s always such a happy place to be. People come here on holiday to have a nice time and that shows. Lots of characters have come and gone over the years” Rob continues. “We used to get coach loads of people who would come down from the South Wales valleys for the day.”

Whilst a trip to the seaside is not as popular as it once was back in the 1960s and 1970s, since the Covid pandemic the great British beachside holiday has made something of a comeback. Summers are getting warmer and people are going abroad less. On a hot day Caswell is as popular as ever. Cars often park all the way down the hill.

Rob has seen it all in his time, and says the business is still very much a going concern. On his reasons for retirement he explains “I’m 67 now and my wife wants me to spend more time at home. In summer I’m here very early getting ready for the day and it’s long hours. But I’ve enjoyed it.”

Local resident and customer Dai Morris has been going there regularly since the early 1970s “His brother Elmo ran it for a good few years before Rob.” Says Dai reminiscing. “I remember his dad who was first generation Italian. He still had a strong accent. His mother June was lovely. She was a real character. It’s always been popular. In summer there will be a cue all day for takeaway food and ice cream”.

Looking to the future Rob stays tight lipped, “I can’t say who’s taking it on or what their plans are, but I hope they will continue what we do, like the buckets and spades and more traditional side. It’s still very popular. But it’s time to hand it over to someone else and they will have their own ideas.”

So as Rob and his family’s long connection to this Gower beach draws to a close, perhaps it’s now time for him to finally sit on the beach and relax, after looking on and serving Swansea holidaymakers for so long? Rob seems to have other ideas. “I’ll definitely be down here regularly!”. Perhaps his wife won’t be seeing as much of him as she might have hoped.

Gower named one of the best places on Earth to stargaze as dark‑sky status confirmed

The announcement lands just ahead of Welsh Dark Skies Week (13–22 February 2026) and marks a major moment for the region, with Gower now joining a global network of protected night‑sky locations.

A coastline where the Milky Way still shines

With some of the clearest, least light‑polluted skies in Wales, Gower is now being hailed as one of the country’s most spectacular places to watch the night sky. On the darkest nights, stargazers can see the Milky Way stretching over the waves — a sight that’s vanished from most of Europe and the US, where 99% of people now live under light‑polluted skies, according to DarkSky International.

The new status means Gower is officially recognised as a landscape where the night sky is protected, celebrated and accessible — whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or someone who’s never pointed a telescope at the sky before.

And it’s not just stars. In summer, beaches like Caswell, Three Cliffs and Port Eynon glow with bioluminescent plankton, creating surreal, neon‑blue shorelines that draw photographers and night‑time walkers from across the UK.

A major milestone for Swansea Bay

The accreditation was awarded by DarkSky International, the global authority on night‑sky conservation. It follows years of partnership work between Swansea Council, Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales, the Gower Society and local communities.

Every street light on Gower has now been retrofitted with dark‑sky‑friendly LED lanterns, and new developments must follow strict lighting rules to protect the night environment.

The move puts Swansea Bay firmly on the map for astro‑tourism — a growing sector that brings visitors in outside the traditional summer season.

A growing draw for visitors

Visit Swansea Bay says the new status strengthens the region’s reputation as a year‑round destination, already attracting more than 4.6 million visitors a year to its beaches, countryside, attractions and food scene.

The organisation works with more than 260 local tourism businesses and says dark‑sky tourism is becoming a major part of the region’s appeal.

Swansea gelato maker ramps up growth after landing key food safety certification

GG’s Gelato, founded in Penclawdd in 2019, has gone from a single Gower parlour to supplying cafés, restaurants, theatres and convenience stores across south Wales — and now says it is ready to scale even further after achieving SALSA accreditation.

The family‑run business, launched by local entrepreneur Keith Jones, has expanded rapidly in recent years. After outgrowing its original parlour kitchen, the company moved into a dedicated manufacturing site in 2024 and invested in specialist production equipment to boost capacity.

Certification opens the door to bigger retailers

To grow its wholesale arm, GG’s Gelato set its sights on securing SALSA — one of the UK’s most trusted food safety standards for small producers. The accreditation is often essential for supplying national and regional retailers, wholesalers and foodservice chains.

The company turned to ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre at Cardiff Metropolitan University for technical support through the Welsh Government’s HELIX Programme.

ZERO2FIVE helped redesign the factory layout to ensure hygienic production and mentored the team through the detailed requirements of the SALSA standard, covering HACCP, allergen controls, supplier risk assessments and food safety documentation.

Alongside this, the Welsh Government’s Cywain programme supported the business with profile‑raising, trade development and one‑to‑one mentoring, helping GG’s Gelato build relationships with new wholesale customers.

The company passed its SALSA audit in September 2025 and has since been able to access new distribution channels and attend Taste Wales / Blas Cymru, the Welsh Government’s flagship food and drink trade event.

‘Vital to the next stage of growth’

Toby Link‑Jones, Operations Manager for GG’s Gelato, said:

“The support from ZERO2FIVE and Cywain will be vital to the next stage of growth for our company.”

He said the accreditation would give larger wholesale buyers confidence in the brand’s standards.

He added:

“Securing SALSA certification will give bigger wholesale customers the confidence to stock our products, whilst the support from Cywain has helped us to open the doors to these distribution channels.”

Welsh Government support ‘crucial’ for food and drink SMEs

Professor Peter Sykes, Head of ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre, said:

“Certification schemes such as SALSA play a crucial role for Welsh food and drink SMEs aiming to grow their wholesale distribution.”

He encouraged other producers to explore the support available through the HELIX Programme.

Alex James, Cywain Project Manager, said:

“We take great delight in helping producers to grow in experience and confidence, bringing new products to the marketplace and adding their talents to the Welsh food and drink industry as a whole.”

GG’s Gelato says it now plans to continue expanding its wholesale footprint across Wales as demand for its small‑batch gelato grows.

Sharing Table’s Christmas hamper campaign celebrates seventh year delivering festive cheer across Gower

The 2025 campaign marked the seventh consecutive year that The Sharing Table has organised Christmas deliveries, with more than 100 hampers distributed across the constituency. Each one was filled with locally sourced, high‑quality produce with the support of businesses including Karl Davies Butcher and Shepherds of Gorseinon.

Ms Antoniazzi, who has backed the project since its launch in 2019, reflected on the importance of the initiative at a time when households across Swansea’s north and western communities continue to feel the strain.

Speaking on the campaign, Tonia Antoniazzi MP said:

“This campaign is a reminder of what makes our community here in Gower and across Swansea so special. Although Gower is often seen as an affluent area, it encompasses many post‑industrial and rural communities where families still face real challenges. These hampers make a meaningful difference every Christmas, and I’m hugely grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s campaign possible.”

The Sharing Table was founded by Andrew Copson, who initially set out to ensure families who needed a little extra support at Christmas never went without.

The project has since expanded beyond festive support, now helping to install kitchens in local schools, giving pupils and community groups access to vital cooking and nutrition education.

Andrew Copson expressed his gratitude to the community for their ongoing commitment.

“Thank you to everyone who has supported The Sharing Table throughout the year. Whether you donated, volunteered, partnered with us, or helped spread the word, you’ve played a vital part in making sure families across our community feel supported and valued.

“The generosity we see year after year is truly humbling, and it’s what keeps this project growing. I’m incredibly grateful to every individual and local business who has stood with us.”

Ms Antoniazzi added:

“It has been a privilege to support The Sharing Table’s wider work. Their school kitchens project makes a positive impact far beyond Christmas. Its been brilliant seeing them helping young people gain confidence to cook, learn about food and nutrition, and gain some important life skills. Andrew and his team are an inspiration, and the whole community should be proud of what they’ve achieved.”

Tonia also thanked the volunteers, donors, and local businesses whose support ensured the 2025 hampers reached families from Cockett to Gorseinon, Penclawdd to West Cross, and across the Gower peninsula.

“Every volunteer who packed a hamper, every business that contributed, and every individual who gave time or money helped brighten someone’s Christmas. Your kindness brought joy to homes across Gower.”

Residents wishing to support The Sharing Table, whether through donations, volunteering, or contributing to next year’s hamper campaign are encouraged to get in touch with The Sharing Table or Tonia Antoniazzi MPs constituency office.

Rhossili cliff horses win reprieve after National Trust meeting

Local farmer Nicky Beynon, who has cared for the animals for generations, was asked to provide paperwork proving the horses’ grazing rights. Documents and history stretching back decades were presented to the Trust, confirming the legitimacy of the herd’s presence on the land.

Historic grazing rights proven

The National Trust, as landowner, had requested evidence to cover itself against any incidents involving the horses. After reviewing the paperwork, officials agreed the animals were entitled to remain.

Nicky Beynon said the horses “wouldn’t be there if they weren’t allowed,” stressing that the herd has been part of Rhossili long before many residents — and even before the Trust itself.

Community calls for better communication

While the outcome was welcomed as a positive resolution, campaigners in the Rhossili Horse Action Group said the episode highlighted the need for clearer communication between the Trust and the local community.

Robert Morgan, who runs Rhossili Sunflowers and Gower Fresh Christmas Trees, posted an update thanking supporters for their offers of help and kind words. He noted that “lots of pressure” had been felt locally alongside the requirements from the Trust, but welcomed the agreement that the horses would stay.

Locals call for education and respect

The decision to let the horses stay was met with relief and celebration across Gower — but also calls for better public awareness.

Dave Thomas suggested the National Trust should now “educate some of the visitors in the etiquette of being around animals,” proposing volunteer wardens to give “toolbox talks” about common grazing.

Meriel Hall, who has lived on Gower for nearly 50 years, said the outcome was a reminder that “it’s us that need to change our behaviour — not the animals.”

Others raised concerns about safety. Gwen Johns urged more protection from “dogs off their leads and ignorant walkers who get too close for a selfie,” while Louise Eden called for “large, clear signage” and multilingual warnings to keep the public at a respectful distance.

Carole Meloni added: “One death is too many — it happens every year. It’s heartbreaking.”

Simon Bowkett praised both Nicky Beynon and Alan Kearsley of the National Trust for resolving the issue, saying: “Let’s hope the point remains seen now.”

What it means for Rhossili

The decision ends weeks of uncertainty after the Trust initially ordered the removal of the horses, sparking widespread outcry. With grazing rights now confirmed, the animals will continue to roam the cliffs — a sight cherished by residents and visitors alike.

Swansea ranks #2 in UK’s best winter seaside list – only beaten by Brighton!

Swansea has been crowned the UK’s second best winter seaside destination, finishing just behind Brighton in a national survey of 45 coastal towns and cities.

The study, carried out by SuomiCasino, found Swansea’s mix of 69 coastal trails, many along the dramatic Gower Peninsula, plus 558 bars and restaurants and 46 landmarks, made it one of the country’s most appealing off‑season escapes.

Swansea’s strong showing means it outranked well‑known seaside names including Portsmouth, Penzance, Blackpool and Eastbourne — and secured the title of Wales’s top winter seaside destination.

Winter by the Welsh coast

The survey highlights Swansea’s combination of scenic walking routes, cultural sites and dining options as ideal for a winter getaway.

Visitors can explore Mumbles Pier, walk the dramatic paths around Three Cliffs Bay, or enjoy local seafood at cosy waterfront restaurants. With an average winter temperature of 6.0°C and 3.8 hours of sunshine per day, the city offers a relatively mild and bright coastal experience compared to many rivals.

Brighton tops the list – but Swansea close behind

Brighton took the top spot thanks to its extensive dining scene, with 949 bars and restaurants, alongside 52 landmarks and 35 beach walking trails. But Swansea’s higher number of trails and strong mix of attractions put it firmly in second place, just behind the south coast city.

Portsmouth came third, praised for its maritime heritage and extensive seafront, while Penzance and Blackpool rounded out the top five.

Northern beaches offer longer daylight

While Swansea ranked highly for overall winter appeal, the study also highlighted northern destinations such as Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, and St Andrews for their longer daylight hours — each averaging 4.4 hours of winter sunshine per day.

These locations were noted for their dramatic coastlines, historic architecture and extended walking opportunities, proving that winter seaside escapes aren’t limited to the south coast.
