IT may be a new year but, of course, last year's well-documented difficulties are set to continue unabated.
As public sector cuts loom ever larger, Chris Holley's message for the new year could be enough to banish any lingering festive spirit.
And news that SA1 has encountered its first major hitch with the hold-up of the �80 million Harbour Square development may only serve to deepen the sense of foreboding.
But amid the grim uncertainties, Swansea Council's leader rightly highlights some important positives that give us reason to welcome 2011 with more than just a hangover.
We firmly believe that ours is a city on the up — and it is up to all of us to make sure it stays that way.
Yes, times are tough, and about to get tougher, but there is nothing to be gained by throwing our hands in the air, waving the white flag and hibernating in the vague hope of better times somehow materialising.
There are opportunities to be had now, and the talent is out there to create many more.
Let 2011 be the year we stand tall, stand together and do it for ourselves.
