Porthcawl How to Ruin a Seaside Town 

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

Glad it is being upgraded. You can argue with some plans but surely not the need for change.

The beach looks a bit rocky in places. British seaside resorts seem to have been in decline since the 1950s.

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

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.

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.
