Rejected petition Stop the creation of a female offenders centre on Porthcawl's seafront.

Look for somewhere more suitable. People come to Porthcawl to enjoy themselves, not to be punished. This proposal will have a devastating effect on our town and its tourism industry.

More details

There are many isolated spots away from residential areas and the temptations offered by a busy seaside holiday resort. As the Armed Forces are to be drastically reduced in number, a large number of more suitable locations will be coming onto the market.
