The council finally surrendered and the Porthcawl police station is reopening. We forced their hand because they could no longer ignore our refusal to accept unsafe streets. Stay vigilant to ensure they actually follow through on this promise.

We just hit 100 signatures and this proves the council cannot ignore us any longer. People are sick of feeling unsafe in the town we call home. Keep the pressure on these bureaucrats until they reopen our station.

Porthcawl is not a small town and even though Bridgend is a 15 minute drive and if there is an emergency this could make the difference in the outcome, also in the tourist season there is a much higher influx of people) if needed the response would be there not 15 minutes later.
It is vitally important that the police station is re-opened. Although a small town, we have a large number of visitors and the provision of a police station is both a deterrent to those who intend to commit crimes and to support and keep the rest of us safely.
it is a disgrace....as witnessed by the horrible attack at the weekend,the Clock Shop armed hold up,the simple fact that police are not in Porthcawl (a factor used by criminals) time it was sorted out .
our town needs a police station. We are a seaside resort with lots of holiday makers staying for longer periods of time now that Trecco Bay is open for 10 months of the year.
two incidents in two weekends. first a murder of an innocent young man now a 13yr old approaching old people with s knife. This is a busy seaside down especially in peak times. Residents and visitors need to know they are safe. Re-open our police station and stop crime. Keep us safe xx
porthcawl needs it's Police Station back!

Even if it is only open during 9-5 it is a place of refuge where assistance, support and crime reporting might take place. An open police station gives so much reassurance.
