Great news for Swansea Bay, the crowdfunding bid #bikes4swansea for the Santander Cycles University Challenge was successful, with Swansea raising the highest amount of promised funds for the scheme!
That means lots of new bikes will be appearing soon, starting with docking stations along the bay linking the two university campuses with the city centre. The amount raised was way above the goal, £100,210 (£53,178 target) which is brilliant news because...
This is brilliant news for Swansea, well done Abertawe! We're looking forward to seeing more people out and about on the bikes, experiencing the joys and freedom of cycling!

"To win the competition we need[ed] to raise more than our target. 50% of any funds raised over and above the target will be used to make further capital investments – more bikes and docking stations – which could include more locations. The other 50% will pay for the additional running costs that will come as a result of the extra investment."

Idea
A Dark Sky Community (duplicate)
(active)
Gower's starry night skies are a special treat. And it's not just nice to look at either - studies have shown that it is important for wildlife, good for our health, and good for local tourism. The Gower AONB Partnership (the elected advisory group which helps manage the AONB) has discussed a report about Gower's Dark Skies, and about a possible Dark Sky designation. Maybe you saw the recent press articles on this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-43576560 ? What do you think about Gower becoming a Dark Sky Community?

I have often picked a spot down the 'Gower' preferably Rhosilli Down where I lay looking at the night sky. A perfect place to designate!

When we first got married and lived in Upper Killay the street lights in our road went off at midnight and came back on at .700am. We survived it!

I am an astronomer and a member of the Swansea Astronomical Society. Any awareness of the preservation of dark skies is encouraged. Many people believe we are trying to switch off night lights to achieve this purpose when this is not true.
All that is necessary is called Full Cut Off lighting. This means specific lights that direct the light downwards. This makes sure that the ground gets more light and no stray light is scattered up into the sky. It makes it safe for people on the streets and keeps the darkness of Wales

Excellent idea. I've recently bought my daughter a telescope and she is loving looking out of our back window at the stars in the West. We've been lucky enough to have Venus as a pointer, and have been using a Skymap app to work out the names of the stars we can see.
A Dark Sky designation would be fantastic and would increase tourism in the area.

100% behind this, it would be great. Does anyone know what came of the meeting in March about the possible dark sky designation?

Although not a member of LGBT I agree there should be a safe place in Swansea- I thought there was but unsure where - maybe this could be explored or advised by a Local Area Co-ordinator
