Backlash from thousands who want parking fees scrapped at popular Welsh beach

Backlash from thousands who want parking fees scrapped at popular Welsh beach The council say the charges help to maintain an important public space Aberavon seafront had parking charges introduced earlier this year (Image: Neath Port Talbot Council ) Members of Neath Port Talbot Council are set to discuss options for parking in Aberavon later this month after calls from residents to reinstate free parking along the beachfront. The move came after a public backlash when the local authority introduced parking charges at The Princess Margaret Way laybys along the beachfront in April. This led to the creation of a petition with thousands of signatures from locals which they said was launched in order to fight the decision and "make the beach more accessible" for residents and tourists. ‌ Others added that frustrations were caused for some users due to the lack of cash payment options in the area, with payment accessed through an app or phone-based systems. ‌ Discussions on the issue will now come at council scrutiny session on June 27, where members will hear of proposals to introduce new short-stay parking tariffs at four nearby off-street car parks from April 1, 2026. These will include Bay View, Ocean Way, Scarlet Avenue and Victoria Road car parks with proposed tariffs of £1 for one hour and £2 for two hours in order to "support short-stay visitors to the seafront allowing them to pay with cash using the existing pay and display machines." It was however noted that payments made at these car parks would not be transferable to the laybys, with the possibility of installing cash payment machines there not deemed as feasible due to the cost of installing them. Article continues below A council spokesperson said: "We've listened to the concerns raised since the introduction of charges and are proposing changes that aim to make parking at the seafront more accessible and easier to use. "Whether you're visiting for a quick walk or a full day out, we want to make parking as simple and flexible as possible—while helping to maintain one of our county borough's most important public spaces." The council says it will also ask for permission from the Welsh Government to install clearer signage along The Princess Margaret Way to improve information about payment options. ‌ However, speaking after the announcement of the proposals, which came ahead of a scheduled public meeting, Councillor Sean Pursey of Sandfields East said he felt they did nothing to address most of the issues raised. He said: "The local councillors for Sandfields have been raising their concerns with the charges since 2023. Despite this and several petitions with thousands of signatures, the proposals went ahead. "Many of the concerns raised in 2023 have come to bear since - the charges are having an impact on both the health and well-being of residents in Neath Port Talbot, and the businesses on the seafront - that impact is not worth the revenue that is being raised. ‌ "The councils proposed changes to the other car park tariffs do nothing to address most of these issues and won't be implemented until next year in any case. "It is disappointing that the council has come forward with these proposed changes before hearing the feedback in the public meeting from residents and businesses. "We hope that following the meeting the leader and cabinet member reflect on the genuine concerns that will be expressed and scrap the lay-by charges." Article continues below

Number of Employee-Owned Businesses in Wales Nears 100

The number of employee-owned businesses in Wales is now approaching 100 – exceeding a Welsh Government pledge to get to 74 by 2026. The Welsh Government's Business Wales and Social Business Wales service offers specialist advice to support employee buy outs, with fully funded and bespoke help available to help business owners decide if employee ownership and share schemes are the right solution for their business. The number of employee-owned businesses in Wales now stands at 95, exceeding the Programme for Government commitment to double the number in Wales and reach 74 by 2026. Research shows that employee-owned businesses perform particularly strongly, with employees demonstrating greater engagement and commitment. The commercial benefits are also becoming increasingly popular with entrepreneurs creating new businesses to help attract and reward talented employees and drive business growth. One company to receive support is Cambrian Training Group, a leading provider of apprenticeship and vocational training across Wales. The Welshpool company, which marked 30 years of business by becoming employee owned earlier this year, was established in 1995 as a subsidiary of Mid Wales Tourism to deliver vocational and hospitality skills as part of the development of the region's tourism sector. It now employs 65 staff and has expanded its work-based learning, skills and apprenticeship programmes into a range of other sectors, including manufacturing, retail, and financial services. Arwyn Watkins OBE, of Cambrian Training Group, said: 'Securing Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) status is a significant step in our journey. Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, and this move ensures that they have a direct stake in our continued success. 'The decision to move towards an EOT rather than opting for a trade sale was motivated by the desire to sustain the company's culture, values, and commitment to quality over the long term.' The Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, Rebecca Evans, said: 'By improving employee well-being and job satisfaction, the employee-ownership model plays a key part in strengthening the foundations on which every successful business is built. 'It's proven benefits include giving employees more control over their own destiny, and providing business owners with the peace of mind that that the future of their business is in safe hands, and that the future of their highly valued employees has been safeguarded in the community the business was fostered in. 'I urge more businesses to explore the benefits on offer via Business Wales and Social Business Wales, to ensure Wales-based companies remain in Welsh hands.'

Government pledges millions on sporting events and local sport

More than £900 million will be spent on major sporting events and grassroots sport in the UK which the UK Government says is part of its Plan for Change. Around half will be spent on the events and the rest on upgrading sports facilities which promote health and wellbeing. Work has already begun with government funding for new pitches, changing rooms, floodlights, solar panels and goalposts at clubs across the UK. The government hopes the strategic investment in sport will help economic growth by creating jobs and driving regional prosperity. This announcement is additional to the £100 million committed in March for local facilities and is also additional to the £8.6 million which the Culture Secretary pledged during her visit to Bonnyrigg Rose Community Football Club in March. Some of the newly announced funding is expected to be spent in Edinburgh where the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes Grand Départs 2027 will start off. Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, said: 'Sport tells our national story in a way few other things can – uniting communities, inspiring millions, and showcasing our nation on the global stage. 'This major backing for world-class events will drive economic growth across the country, delivering on our Plan for Change. Coupled with strong investment into grassroots sport, we're creating a complete pathway to allow the next generation of sporting heroes to train and take part in sport in communities across the UK. ' This investment is central to the Government's commitment to delivering major sporting events with pride and impact and stands alongside ongoing work with partners in the sport sector and across the UK. The pipeline of major events already secured includes this Summer's Women's Rugby World Cup in England, the Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2026, the ICC T20 Cricket women's and men's World Cups (in 2026 and 2030 respectively), the Invictus Games 2027 in Birmingham, and many other elite continental and world championships. Secretary of State for Scotland, Ian Murray, said:'This £900 million investment in sport represents a game-changing commitment to Scotland and the whole of the UK. From the spectacular sight of the Tour de France starting at Edinburgh Castle in 2027, to the roar of the crowds at Hampden Park during Euro 2028, we will continue Scotland's proud tradition of staging iconic sporting events. 'But this isn't just about elite sport and iconic moments. The £400 million for grassroots facilities means communities across Scotland will benefit from better pitches and sporting facilities, helping more people to get active, improve their wellbeing, and potentially discover the sporting talent of tomorrow. 'This investment delivers on our Plan for Change by breaking down barriers to opportunity, bringing communities together, and showcasing Scotland on the world stage. From local parks to global arenas, we're ensuring sport can thrive at every level.' The Official Announcement of the 2027 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes Grand Departs' was made in March at Edinburgh Castle (L to R) Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport,Lisa Nandy, Mark Cavendish, Christian Prudhomme and HRH Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh Picture by Allan McKenzie/ – Like this: Like Related
