Do you remember those carefree days of childhood holidays at Butlins in Skegness, where time seemed to slow down and everything was a fun adventure? As someone who's always cherished those memories, I dream of having a place closer to home where we can relive those moments and, dare I say, "rob J20's" like we used to.

Newtown in Powys has the potential to replicate that wonderful experience right here in Wales, offering families and friends unforgettable holiday experiences without the long drive to the coast. Transforming Newtown into a Butlins-like destination could serve as a local hub of joy, entertainment, and economic prosperity.

Not only would this development bring smiles and thrills to our own backyards, but it would also stimulate the local economy, create jobs, and encourage tourism. An attraction like a Butlins could enrich the cultural landscape of Powys, providing invaluable opportunities for community engagement and growth. Think of the boost in local businesses, from vendors to hotels, as visitors flock to enjoy what could be the new "Skeggy Butlins."

Additionally, creating a Butlins in Newtown would make it accessible for families who find it hard to travel long distances but still wish to experience the magic that Butlins holidays offer. This initiative could be the key to revitalizing the area, making it a hotspot for family-friendly fun while honoring the vibrant spirit of Skegness.

Let’s transform this dream into reality by calling upon local authorities and potential investors to see this vision and make it happen. Newtown Powys can become a beacon of recreation and joy, reminiscent of the beloved Skeggy Butlins, while offering economic advantages that can uplift the community.

Join me in bringing this dream to life for those memorable escapades and the opportunity to share it with future generations. Sign the petition to support turning Newtown Powys into a Skeggy Butlins!
