Gorseinon is to be relegated to Llanelli as Swansea Council look for further ways to save money.
The town, thrust upon Swansea in 1996 like an unwanted dick pic, has quietly achieved some acceptance thanks to the Roma chip shop.
However, as money has become tight, we can reveal the Council is looking to be creative with the Turk border to rid Gorseinon from its area of responsibility.
Council spokesperson Theresa Connell said: “You know that friend that no one remembers to invite to parties? That’s Gorseinon. No one hates her, she’s just an afterthought because sometimes she get too drunk and causes a scene.
“Occasionally you’ll hear a distant relative has moved there and you just say ‘oh, OK’. So it’s for the best that we get a little creative with the border and relegate it to become Llanelli’s problem.
“If we pulled some decent Council Tax revenue in from them it’d be fine, but they don’t call in Go-sign-on for nothing.”
Resident Pete Bowen said: “I’m shocked we’re being dumped into Llanelli ownership, we have a thriving ASDA.
“It’s a cultured town, you know? The Gyp was ahead of its time, it opened 24 hours a long time before licensing laws were brought in, but from what I hear you can get quite a lot of drugs in Llanelli, so maybe it’s not such a bad thing.”
Gorseinon with Llanelli, answer to a dream. Being put in Swansea has been a disaster for us. The land earmarked for a bowls centre, sold to refurbish LC2, in the city centre. The estates of good housing in Penyrheol, Loughor, Penllegaer, & Gorseinon ie Llwchwr UD, have been turned into robbery victims to pay for the leech that is Swansea City centre.

As far as I can see, Llanelli Council spends money far more wisely than SCC. They look after local amenities, roundabouts look cared for, grass verges are well maintained etc.

I would rather !I’ve in Gorseinon than at least 70% of Swansea
They are waisting money left right and centre so I don’t believe we can be any worse off but we will have to wait and see

What great news, at last we will be with a decent council who will care about us. Unlike Swansea who have only used us as a dumping ground and moved a lot of trouble makers here. It doesn’t say much for Swansea council when they have a spokesperson such as Theresa Connell making comments like that. I for one would be delighted to leave them and go to Llanelli.

I thought it was on the table that Gorseinon became part of the constituency with Llanelli, becoming Llanelli and Lliw, instead of being a part of Gower. Didn’t know about county council boundary changes.

It won’t happen overnight. I can see another Brexit situation here! Roma have an outlet on Woodfeild Street in Morriston, they are going to need to draw up a whole raft of trade agreements before this is finalised.
