New benches installed at beauty spot

-

A PORTHCAWL beauty spot has been given new benches to help people enjoy the outdoors.

The Green Spaces team of Bridgend council have installed eight new benches and refurbishe­d others around Pwll y Waun Lake in Porthcawl.

The team completed the work after the Covid-19 pandemic prevented a previous restoratio­n proposal put together by a local community group from going ahead. The work was carried out after the original benches were damaged through natural deteriorat­ion and exposure to the weather.

Mayor Councillor Kenneth Watts said: “Pwll y Waun Lake is a stunning area of natural beauty and is popular with residents and visitors alike.

“While well-used, the benches which have been installed around the lake were showing their age and were in urgent need of refurbishm­ent and replacemen­t. I am delighted to see that the Green Spaces team has carried out this work, and that the benches have been made available for people to enjoy once more.”
