The development of land on Porthcawl waterfront has taken a step closer, after the Welsh Government confirmed it purchased parcels of land in the seafront area.
The announcement came after Welsh ministers confirmed they had secured the ownership of sections of land based on a 20 hectare site, at the heart of the area for Bridgend Council’s regeneration in Porthcawl.
The sale includes the Coney Beach Amusement Park site and the adjoining section of land known locally as the monster park. It is now expected that the amusement park, which has been a popular feature in the town for more than 100 years, will continue to run for up to three years before any work starts.
