People have their say through the designs and they chose that
The work will soon begin the transformation of the Swansea market because the Council has published the final design for its “new inputs”. With the large facelift, the inputs of the market are changed with a design selected by the city's population.
In February, the Swansea Council presented three potential designs and invited the public views, dealers and stakeholders to decide what the Oxford Street entrances would look like in the Swansea market.
The local authority has now announced that the work will begin shortly to complete it in spring 2026.
The three designs that were collected in February were named as cuboid, the stencil and the run. Never miss a Swansea story of Registration with our newsletter here.
The first design, The Couboid, was inspired by the traditional theater and cinema inputs, while the second design, the stencil, referred to traditional trade signs. Here you can find more about these designs.
However, the residents of Swansea have selected the third design, the barrel that contains an arch barrel to refer to the dome of the market roof and the sheet of the window gable ends.
These arches are also referred to the market logo.
The Swansea Council has assured that the market will remain open and accessible during the entire construction process in the spring of next year.
The new inputs will also contain new lighting, floors, signs and safety functions.
A contribution on the Council's Facebook page states: “Great news from Swansea Market – the work is about to select new designs and the building permit, which were selected in the new entrances to the new looks and buyers.
“The work will be completed in spring; its award -winning market remains open and accessible everywhere.
“The new copper -colored roof will reflect the Swansea industrial heritage.
“The more intelligent, visible and lively entrances will help to ensure a brilliant future for a fantastic location to attract new customers and help dealers continue to offer great service.”
