Photographed from St. David's Road (Town Centre) this scene shows the `groundwork` preparations for the �15 million leisure and entertainment complex, comprising of an eight screen cinema, 24 lane bowling alley and several restaurants. The developers are Mint Blue, a Cardiff based company. The complex should be ready for it's first customers in October 2008.
