Bay 5 Coffee is not just a café; it’s a beloved community hub at the heart of Barry’s seaside. For the past 10 years, Bay 5 has been an integral part of Barry Island’s business landscape, serving both locals and visitors with its quality offerings and warm atmosphere. Despite its vital presence, Vale of Glamorgan Council has rejected Bay 5’s lease renewal, putting its future at risk. We need to act now to ensure this cherished establishment remains part of our community.

Situated along our beautiful seafront, Bay 5 Coffee provides more than just coffee. It offers a space for people to connect, relax, and enjoy the vibrant seaside atmosphere. It supports local suppliers and artisans, helping to sustain the local economy and fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship. Losing Bay 5 would not only strip Barry of its charm but also dent our local economic ecosystem.

Vale Council has yet to provide a sufficient explanation for its decision, raising concerns over transparency and the criteria used to make such impactful choices. We believe that Bay 5 Coffee deserves another chance, and it’s in the council's best interest to support small independent traders who add immense value to our community.

With your support, we can urge the Vale Council to reconsider their decision, preserving the unique character of Barry Island. Sign this petition to help keep our seafront diverse and thriving, ensuring Bay 5 Coffee continues to enrich our community for years to come. Every signature counts.
