A former holiday park site in Wales could be set to welcome caravan enthusiasts once more, it has been revealed.
Plans have been put forward to develop the former Butlins site in Barry Island into a caravan site with facilities that are open to the public, Barry & District News reported.
The national chain closed its Nell Point holiday park in 1990, with part of it being used for new housing.
However, Humberts Leisure is hoping to transform the 11-acre site into a caravan park that could also feature a restaurant, pub and playground.
Local businessman Pat Collins Jnr told the newspaper that traders want more holiday accommodation in the area.
“Everybody that comes down to Barry Island says, ‘Where’s the nearest caravan park?’ and we have to send them to Rhoose,” he explained.
