Resort revamp plans are unveiled

The Great British Seaside Resort: sun, sand, piers, funfairs and donkey rides. But that is only part of the attraction. If you love being beside the seaside, talk about it here!

A vision of how the revived south Wales seaside resort of Porthcawl could look is to be revealed at an exhibition.

Good to see that the local authority recognises that people still like to visit the seaside then.

Interesting about piers:

Porthcawl... What a sad place. It's like Rhyl was 10 or 12 years ago. Right on the edge of becoming desperate and broken.

Hopefully the local council will inject some money into the area and get it looking good again. There's certainly nothing wrong with the actual seafront, other than it's been left to rot.

Good luck to them.
