READING the report on the rejuvenated Barry Island thanks to Mr Danter and family, it would seem the good times are rolling back which is fantastic news for Barry Island and the traders.

However, one word of caution, it would seem that the Vale Council are still in talks with a developer for the Nells Point site to be used for a hotel. We don’t need a hotel, we need a purpose built leisure complex which can be used all year around.

We need a swimming pool, bowling alley, multi-complex cinema, restaurant, club house, etc. The youths and the people of Barry need this sort of facility not a hotel.

We have a hotel just a couple of miles from Barry Island and if the council had any brains why don’t they purchase this, its the ready made Mount Sorrell. Nells Point land belongs to the people not Neil Moore and his followers. If you want to build a hotel, build it in Llantwit Major. How about first consulting with the people instead of just rail-roading in what you want.

As it’s my understanding you, Neil Moore, and your Labour troop are sitting on a cool £70 odd million in reserves, that’s our money you’re sitting on. It’s about time you gave some back, it’s annoying when you lot spend, spend, spend on yourselves but don’t shed a penny on the people.

You have by your very nature destroyed everything this town had, with the nice weather we are having, those lucky people in Pontypridd have a brand new Lido to enjoy, we have nothing, so come on you council give us something back for a change.

With a leisure complex and Mr Danter’s fantastic help, if you build and the people will come.
