Year 9 pupils from Ysgol Gyfun Bro Morgannwg in Barry quizzed Vale MP Alun Cairns about the regeneration of Barry Island after the students researched plans announced by funfair operator Henry Danter.
Mr Cairns explained to pupils about the work he had done to bring parties together for the benefit of visitors to Barry Island. He also explained that following the visit by Minister Eric Pickles he hoped the community and local authority would get behind a project that would see a high class funfair opening in preparation for the summer of 2015.
Mr Cairns said: “The regeneration of Barry Island is such a symbolic project, with both pupils and teachers keen to see the area redeveloped. I am happy to discuss any project that will benefit Barry and the wider Vale – and it was very pleasing to see such in depth research and interest undertaken by the Year 9 students.”
