This affects the local Porthcawl community and anyone visiting the area.  It will affect local business as Porthcawl will be less appealing as a holiday destination and there is a real risk that Porthcawl will become a 'ghost town' considering so many businesses rely on the tourism that the pleasure park and surrounding tourist attractions bring in.

Why is now the time to act? The Welsh Government who purchased the land have decided to allow Coney Beach pleasure park to remain in operation for a further 3 years this gives us  plenty of time to assemble and demonstrate just how many people love and have faith in the long term success of Porthcawl and Coney Beach as a seaside UK holiday destination. 

The local areas extremely proud history and exciting future is at a threat.  Opening it's gates over 100 years ago and is home to so many wonderful memories. If we don't act now Porthcawl could deteriorate and the local residents and businesses will likely suffer the consequences in order to make for unsightly housing a retail park and a primary school.  

We encourage the Welsh Government to reconsider their plans, or to sell the pleasure park to an investor who wants to keep Coney Beach pleasure park.
