Swansea City Council announced the signing of a deal with the global leader in live entertainment, the Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), to run Swansea Arena, with construction set to begin late on this year.
As part of phase one of the £1.3bn Swansea Bay City Deal, the arena designed by ACME for City and County of Swansea is on schedule to throw open its doors to the public in 2020.  
The arena form is a fluid arrangement of bifurcating curves, shaped by the spatial requirements of the internal programme, each peel representing a specific use that sits above the glazed plinth. The digital facade consists of a pleated anodized aluminium facade with integrated LED lighting to broadcast events and performances to the adjacent digital square and the wider city.

Network Rail Property has announced it is to bring forward new plans to redevelop Britain’s busiest station, London Liverpool Street, to transform the customer experience.

It’s time the station becomes a destination in its own right, to handle the demands of the future.

London Liverpool Street station is a major transport hub connecting well over 100 million people a year within London and the southeast, with passengers forecast to grow to over 140 million a year by 2050.

This is a transport-led scheme promoted by Network Rail Property focussed on providing big improvements to the everyday experience for passengers, including:

• Increasing the size of the concourse to ease congestion  

• Step-free access across the station and London Underground 

• Delivering 7 new lifts to make Network Rail platforms and the London Underground more accessible.  

• Increasing the number of escalators from 4 to 8 to enable easier access to the trains  

• More ticket barriers to reduce queuing 

• New toilets, including family facilities on all levels of the station. 

• New landmark entrances on Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate and Exchange Square. 

• Additional waiting lounges  

• Better signage throughout, making the busses easier to find. 

• More cycle storage with direct access to platforms 

• More space for passengers inside the station

• A greater variety of cafes, restaurants and shops
