I WAS so disappointed to pick up the paper on Thursday last and to read of the Link Road on hold again. The Welsh secretary Alun Cairns said it would be open.

We have one road into Barry Island and the Link Road would have given us so much pleasure as all the big stores are in line but now we have to take a big tour to reach them.

I wake up early sometimes and the whole or part of Barry is in darkness. One major road and why can’t they have lower power bulbs. I know we have to save on costs but on major road.

I have noticed that the food prices have gone up with petrol too. My weekly shop is an extra £7 with the same amount of groceries.
