Join me on todays update how the council is about to ruin a seaside town loved by millions of ppl Porthcawl of 2024 has been left on hold as such waiting for major changes to start on the ruining of this lovely town, Eastern prom road already has pot holes they won’t be repaired, because the whole road is be taken out, for housing for the rich. The fair to be flattered for houses. Such Shocking plans by this Labour Run Council
Check out if the council planning is legal. Most planning determinations (i.e decisions) are illegal because a planning committee is prohibited by statute from making determinations. They can research and recommend but the full council MUST decide. Where I live in the Dean, I refuse to pay my council tax because I will not contribute to an organisation that commits crime. If anyone in Porthcawl is interested send me a way to contact you by replying here. I'm banned from Facebook and cannot use telegram.
This has nothing to do with upgrading, it’s pure theft of public and Crown land, yes Crown land, the evidence is now out there, some carelessly divulged by the Civic Trust, ironically who were made to remove some evidence but add other, which was a silly mistake as they confirmed the involvement of the Board of Trade in the 1930 conveyance of 256 acres to PUDC in trust 🤣
The planners have no idea. They are completely changing the character of Porthcawl by making these crazy decisions. It doesn’t need apartment blocks or multi-storey car parks. It needs cleaning up and putting back to being the successful town it was in the past.
I haven't been there for about 30 years and then i went about 2 months ago and loads of memories came flooding back from when i was a child . i will have to revisit this summer . bits of it looked a bit run down but thats like everywhere in wales these days sadly
Every where in the British isles unfortunately(apart from the places the "ruling" classes reside,where,miraculously the money is found to preserve the heritage,while making improvements.
900 new homes will add to the community, this "carpark" was covered in mud from dredging for years. This seems like NIMBYism to the extreme. John Street has had business closing down for a long time now and bringing fresh blood into the community will just strengthen the town rather than being an offshoot of Treco bay which is what has turned into over the past 10 years.
Salt Lake is an eyesore so i am glad they ate debeloping there. Although i wish they would turn Sandy Bay into a huge park like Singleton. The fair wont be missed, but again, houses is not the answer.
Coney Beach to go, not a problem, Eastern Promenade to go for 900 Houses, NO WAY, maybe 80 to 100 houses, but that's it, forget the multy storey car park
The 900 houses are going between Trecco caravan site and the Hi Tide,on the sandy bay area,I believe the access road will be through the shows and old Dinosaur park.
Grew up there, went back in 04, seemed smaller than when I was a kid. The steam trains were running where the dual carrigeway is, the Victoria Pub was on Station Hill, a Fulgoni's across from there. No underpass then. The Colesium Cinema, Stonleigh Club, Antley's, Loveluck Cobblers, Duck's The Chemist, Hopkins, Madges Shop, Paul's Cafe, at the top of John St. There was a barber shop but forget the name. Great place to grow up. Miss my mates dearly.

Glad it is being upgraded. You can argue with some plans but surely not the need for change.
The only need for all those houses is council greed

I live there and not looking forward to all the changes, I am thinking of moving because of this.

The beach looks a bit rocky in places. British seaside resorts seem to have been in decline since the 1950s.
Rocky parts of a beach, shocking that 😂😂😂

Always thought the place was a bit of something and nothing tbh.
