This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Appose plans to develop the proposed offender centre in Porthcawl and Sunnyside.

We want the Ministry of Defense and subsequent local governing bodies to reconsider the plans to house ex-offenders in both Porthcawl and Sunnyside.

More details

Although there is a consideration for the complex needs of ex offenders there should also be consideration paid to the safeguarding issues that could arise for the local communities as well as the impact on the local economy. The proposed sites are well frequented venues, enjoyed by both local residents and tourists. We urge the Ministry of Justice to reconsider the appropriateness of the plans and location.
