Say what you like about Barry and I know there’s many a tasty tale to tell about our often turbid town, but one thing that remains staunchly standard is our cracking community spirit.

OUR SUPERB SENSE OF SOLIDARITY RUNS RIGHT THROUGH OUR RESIDENTS LIKE A STICK OF BARRY ISLAND ROCK.

Never has this been more tested as our town rides the Coronacoaster of lonely lockdown. From almost the minute we moved into this Quarantine, my Facebook feed has been full of top tales of rallying residents pulling together to help our town’s most vulnerable, real random acts of community kindness, and solid support for those fighting on the Covid-19 frontline.
