An icon. A trailblazer. The undisputed Queen of Country. Dolly Parton’s music and kindness touched generations across the world. Rest in peace, Dolly.

Preparations are well underway for @NoteworthyChoir’s 20th Anniversary Concert with @TrystanLlyr. Can’t believe it’s 20 years since I set it up. Join us to celebrate!

We’ll be performing some new music as well as a selection of some old favourites!

These disgusting, divisive comments do not represent the values of our communities in Pyle, Kenfig Hill and Cefn Cribwr. Next year’s local elections will give residents the opportunity to deliver their verdict on Owain Clatworthy at the ballot box.

You can’t even sit down for a coffee at McArthur Glen for five minutes without being reminded of the latest mandatory ideology.

This isn’t about kindness or inclusion. It’s about making one political view impossible to escape in every public space.

Ordinary people are tired of it. They just want to live their lives without every surface being turned into a billboard.

Any and all congressional hearings on Jeffrey Epstein and the association of individuals with this prolific abuser of underage girls, should have been publicised and live streamed. The Clintons were right to have asked for this, it speaks volumes that this request was denied.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

With Ghislaine Maxwell, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton facing the oversight committee. Other powerful figures - including Bill Gates, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and Peter Mandelson, should be forced to testify before Congress as well.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

Anyone linked in any credible way to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein should be forced to testify before the United States Congress; no ifs, or buts. Accountability and transparency must come first. If you are innocent, you should be more than willing to answer questions under oath.

9. Loss of Porthcawl’s Character: Regeneration should enhance, not erase, the heritage, culture, and seaside identity that make Porthcawl unique.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

@BridgendCBC plan to destroy Porthcawl’s tourism industry with their so-called ‘regeneration’ plans. It’s such a bad idea and here’s why: A thread.🧵

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

8. Political Timing: With elections approaching and Labour’s plummeting approval ratings, pushing forward with such divisive proposals shows disregard for the views of the electorate.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

7. Growing Public Opposition: The level of community discontent is clear through protests, petitions, and groups such as SOS Save Our Seaside.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

6. Lack of Genuine Community Engagement: Residents feel ignored, with many politicians failing to respond to concerns and public consultation having minimal influence.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

5. Inadequate Parking Provisions: The number of parking spaces proposed for 1,500 homes is insufficient, likely causing congestion and frustration for residents and visitors alike.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

4. Negative Impact on Tourism – Porthcawl’s economy is built on tourism. Tourism, particularly attractions such as Coney Beach Amusement Park and Trecco Bay, are at risk, which threatens the town’s economy and identity.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

3. Job Losses and Business Displacement: There is no clear plan to support businesses and workers who will be directly affected.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

2. Insufficient Public Transport Links: The new Metrolink scheme operates only two bus routes, which is inadequate for the scale of the proposed development.

[Joe Gray @Josef_J_Gray]

1. Overwhelming of Public Services: Local GP practices, pharmacies, schools, and council services are already under pressure; the addition of 1,500 new homes will place an unsustainable strain on them.
