Have Your Say

Engaging with the community is only half the story; to complete the “engagement cycle” we want to show how we have listened to what you have said. Below are some examples of the ways in which engagement has been effective.

    We Did

    To improve your shopping experience & the appearance of the town, Christmas Lights can now be enjoyed at Park Crescent, Holton Road & High Street. We also worked in partnership with the Vale of Glamorgan Council to bring floral displays to Holton Road & Arriva Trains Wales to install planters at Barry Train Station.
