Waterfront development boost for area
A new £350m development is planned for the final phase of the regeneration of Barry Waterfront.
Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon Homes and Barratt Homes are leading a consortium of developers to build over 2,000 new homes, hotel, restaurants, retail outlets and possibly a cinema with the creation of hundreds of new jobs.
Once the development is completed, the new quarter will effectively link Barry Island with the actual town itself and transform the area into a thriving and stylish waterfront community.
Ieuan Wyn Jones, Minister for the Economy and Transport, said the project supports the Assembly Government’s green strategy to promote sustainable development and its drive to achieve higher environmental standards on new schemes. He said: “Waterfront Barry plays a vital role in the ongoing regeneration of South Wales and these proposals will provide a significant boost for the area and create new jobs through the commercial and leisure developments.”

Student debt dropping for first time in six years

The average student debt has fallen this year for the first time since 2001 to £11,123, according to a report by
uSwitch.com.
The report supports the figures released by the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) earlier this year, revealing that more students in Wales are opting to study at a University closer to home rather than relocating to one in England or Scotland, for example.
However, the National Union of Students warn that some graduates are still leaving university with debts in excess of £30,000 and 1 in 10 students have even considered filing for bankruptcy to clear their debts.
Despite the alarmingly high figures, a report by NatWest has found that 73 per cent of sixth-formers still consider that attending University is in their best interests for their future careers and are not deterred by the fear of debt.
