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.

Sorry to hear that...I find it interesting that money moves into places they like then immediately set about changing it

@Convivial Like Americans abroad, these people want to surround themselves with home comforts.

@senghenydd unfortunately it does happen...

@senghenydd It happens everywhere, whenever people with money move in. Sometimes it benefits the local economy, but more often things like this happen :(

@Convivial I knew there were some of the local people annoyed about the holidaymakers but never thought this would happen.

@Hopelandia Well the main shopping centre will miss the holidaymakers.
