Porthcawl's beloved Coney Beach amusement park to close within months

I'm very sorry very sad to hear that Coney Beach Amusement Park will being closing their gates at the end of the Season it's been there in Porthcawl since 1918 hard working people who live in South Wales and further afield have enjoyed spending their leisure time there on day trips, week-end breaks, and even fortnight holidays.

Porthcawl has always been a very popular resort so why has this happened, Porthcawl is a large town there are very wealthy parts of Porthcawl I think these people disliked the Amusement Park they disliked the Caravaners and decided to get the right people on the local Council and destroy Porthcawl as a holiday resort, they have succeeded first it was the Sandy Bay Caravan Park and now Coney Beach Amusement Park, everyone I know is saddened to hear this news what a silly country Wales has become, there's no respect for hard working people's leisure time.

This is why we need to tax these people massively, so they are put off buying second homes and ruining local economies wherever they go. I truly hope that it won't be demolished and that it can remain abandoned in the hopes of re-opening it some day.

@Hopelandia I'm sure there's behind the scenes goings on and the land will be re-developed similar to the caravan site which was Sandy Bay, as a young lad growing up in South Wales Porthcawl had everything this is so sad, Porthcawl rivalled Porthmadog Southend and Blackpool etc.
