It's awful how a company can buy what would have been a thriving holiday camp at one stage, spend no money on it to try and get it back to what it had been. Even worse run it down (the rubbish and broken items just lying around was dreadful!) and then shut it down because it wasn't financially viable. Obviously it was bought for the land value alone, I would think that the site would be sold to a developer who would subdivide and then build luxury homes for people who could afford it and live in a beachside location. With that huge site, there's quite a few homes that could be built there!

I do hope the park is restored to it's former glory. It doesn't need to be raised to the ground. It needs a total refurbishment. All the structures will be sound. They can be made like new. The ecology of this planet cannot afford to trash buildings like that. The story at Butlins Pwllheli in 1998 was the same. Substantial buildings demolished for tin caravans which have probably been replaced several times since. Cost to the planets limited resources very high indeed.

We enjoyed, but were also saddened hearing the story of Pontins, Rachael and Wills. Too many companies just don't give a darn (notice my tact) about anything other than the bottom line. In order to keep any resort park going, investing back into it is required. You can tell by looking at it here that hasn't happened even before you said it. It looks much like army barracks sadly. It's quite dated and I'm afraid you may be correct about the need to tear it down and starting fresh. If the company owning it can make money by housing migrants, I'm guessing that's what they may do. If they can make MORE money by selling the prime property off for development for housing then they will go that route. Companies like that don't really care about their employee's, or what would be for the common good. Always a shame and sad story.

The council have denied that (but again would trust them!) the last we heard was that Butlins were interested, but that's gone quiet now as well! Cheers for watching 🍻

Not to be Miss Advertising Critic, but the tagline "all the best people go to Pontins" definitely smacks of British classism and elitism 😮

I think it was a tag line to make people feel better! It was the cheaper option to the likes of Butlins - but claimed that it was much more fun.

@@PostcardAndAPint very much so!

The place is now a prison camp, it should’ve been demolished over 20 years ago , now that Ryanair and easyJet take people all over Europe this place does not need to open its doors anymore. I don’t understand how anyone can really have a go at refugees, you would have to be absolutely desperate to get in an overcrowded inflatable and cross the channel to end up in a place like this.

We still think there is a place for the traditional British seaside holiday - granted not at this site at the moment, but it has a lovely beach and with the right facilities could be a viable option again. We know the weather is better abroad, but not everyone likes it hot or flying. Fingers crossed this site is shown some love! Cheers for watching 🍻

@@PostcardAndAPint pleasure. The British holiday scene has now changed. There is not a lot of scope for the type of holiday which may have been popular 70s 80s I. When you look at British holidays like Center Parcs, that’s not far behind going to places like sandals when it comes to cost. I stayed in Cornwall in September 2 people accommodation cost for decent for a week was over £1000. you’re not going to be able to do budget anymore. I’ll bet Mum-dad and two children Somewhere like Butlins will be the best part of £2000 for a week. that’s before any spending money.
