A petition against potential plans to build a holiday camp near a children's hospice and a college for young adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorder has received thousands of signatures. The campaign comes after Barry Island Pleasure Park owner, Henry Danter, announced in February that he hopes to build a new holiday camp on his recently purchased plot of land on Hayes Road, Sully.

The bereaved grandmother of a former Ty Hafan user, Karen Maidment, has created the petition in the hopes of stopping any new holiday camp being built adjacent to the Ty Hafan Children's Hospice and near the Beechwood College in Sully. Karen set up the petition calling on the Vale of Glamorgan council to refuse any future planning application made by Mr Danter to build a holiday camp on land he has purchased, she wrote. No plans for the site yet been sumbitted.
