Great camera action and love the zoom ability Always interesting to hear your opinion about the powers that be and that daylight robbery for the island car park- the condition of the building outside the fair is absolutely inexcusable - great to see some good weather for a change also happy to hear you’re feeling better with less pain Keep it up j

You know why he council are saying no to Henry for accommodation, it’s because the money coming in will be benefiting Henry and Park instead of the making the Councils Pockets bigger, that’s always been my thought, with Dudgies in the concrete on the point, we always go and find it when we finish, remember watching that vlog, it’s dawned on me how long I’ve been subscribed

Not been to Barry Island since 1996, some of the best beaches around and your videos showcase this lovely place so well. Come on Dudgie get your kayak back on the water. Must find time for another visit very soon. All the best from Worcestershire.

There’s not enough of holiday places to stay at , we love Barry and hope the council pull there finger out , it could be fantastic and bring lots more tourism , hi Steve 😂😂😂😂😂 me and Tommy fed the squirrels , there was about 5 of them 😂😂😂 was lovely , he wanted to take one home 😂😂😂😂

Went to Barry first time.the beach setting is great..for adults nothing there no decent food or pubs 😩

I Love Barry Island 🏝 in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 it's a Great 👍 Holiday 😎

Nice little update mate no suprise with the council money hungry.

Hi Steve yea we went to the island for the weekend had a amazing time, went for a walk to Jackson's bay stunning, back to the fair which was amazing the show men was amazing didn't want to leave, also met up with Henry in his bar which was amazing, thanks for the update hope to hear from you soon

Great vlog looking forward to seeing the progress on your garden are you far from the beaches now noticed you have moved 👍 they should do something with that building it looks terrible it's a shame to leave it.

I went to Barry for the 1st time last week (midweek) and actually really enjoyed our time. Really clean down by the beach, nice beach and good walks. I would recommend… but my nearest beach is Weston super mare so the standards to beat wasn’t ever high 😅 parking was high but I’ve got used to that over the years for long stays.

Enjoyed the vlog and update, is very frustrating to see the council behaving that way.

I think quite a few years ago now a Warners holiday park was meant to be close to being built on the car park site but the council messed them about so much they pulled out .

I Love Green 💚 it's My Favourite Colour 💚

I Love Khaki 🌴 Green 💚 it's My Favourite Colour 🌴 💚

As someone who has a other half who is Welsh I do want to visit Barry island but with no accommodation on the island where are people ment to stay ?

A prime waterfront site for leisure and the Vale Council just frustrate it. Not good for tourists and not good for residents. It's an eyesore. Well done for highlighting it and keeping us up to date.

great vlog of an amazing place steve,,i know your passionate about barry,,and so you should be,,accommodation is deffo needed to make the place busy again,,hope henry pulls it off

Fab video mate I had a fab few hrs down there today

I remember going to the Disco in there, so sad.

Those car parking charges that you pointed out are alot cheaper than what we have to pay up here in Glasgow, our local one is £2.20 for 1hr. 6hr stay is £14 I'd love to live in a place like Barry,

Just came back from.barry yesterday had great time

I always enjoy your videos... Great cannot wait for all the behind the scenes of Gavin & Stacey.. Keep the great content coming!

We come to Barry Island for the Butlins for reunion as my partner work there in 1983 till 1986

Hiya I came to Barry last year as my daughter lives in Bridgend. I think Barry is a lovely place, i hope Henry keeps the fair there. What with Coney beach possibly going in a few years you will get more visitors. Great vlog as always.

Hi dudge was the council Labour or tory at the time of this video? because my town was tory run and the car park prices have soared and shops have also closed down in both my town Nantwich and the neighbouring town of crewe in cheshire

spent many hours in that pool as a kid at butlins learned to swim in it too

Thanks for letting visitors know what the council are like 😢😢

It’s is 200% Vale of Glamorgan council is troublemaker council next plan is to stop Barry Island Barry Festival of Transport, Heritage buses, Heritage Cars and lot more to stop every year on June. I’m big worried and Concerns on Barry Island Barry Festival of Transport and more in every June into Barry Island car and bus park no use anymore on year of 2025. Where to park the Heritage buses festival in Barry Island car park into next year on June 2025 it’s big Concerns ? New ice cream shop name is Scoop from Penarth set to take place from Cadwaladers Old ice cream place turned into New ice cream shop Scoop on 11 Paget Road in Barry Island.

I'm hoping to visit Barry Island next week, is the fair open during the week? As I can't visit on the weekend 😊

What i find is if you ask a company or organisation why . You always get the same response " it's what our customers wanted ". Nobody has asked me .

Great video Steve if only the council would let Henry invest into a little site like the car park for some caravans for people to stay would bring alot more people to barry investment into barry would be great I was only there a month ago and said the abandoned building would make a good pub restaurant or cafe. I went on aero space wen me and family cane down and putting it politely I thought I would of needed a spare pair of boxer shorts lol😅😂

Well Mr. D, if you think your council suck big time, take a trip to Newport and see wha that council has either done or not done. As for parking in central Newport car parks, it's all money in the pockets isn't it.? Anyway, Barry still looking the bees knees, would look even better if that block was eventually converted, but only God can turn that tide. Keep em coming Mr. D, these are precious moments that will eventually become distant memories for us when when were in our dotage (old age). Hehehe.

MrD being political at the beginning, edgy stuff there..very true what you are saying though Looks gorgeous there in paradise

I went to Barry island today for a school trip 😊😊😊😊 I loved it the beach is beautiful 🤩

Yes m8 they done need somthing for holiday people to stay at Barry but butlins was good m8 and then turned in to majestic holiday park last time I was there it was great fun fair open late nite riding was great that was when I was 14 great days now I'm 53 all the best andy from bham

Wonder which member of the council is mates with the buyer of the toilet block...

Welldone guys don't get lost or squashed keep up the good work 👏 👌

Thanks for another Brilliant video Steve mate 👍🙂

Good to se this you bring this update from Barry Island looking lush Steve 👍

Going to Barry island for the first time in a couple weeks, any recommendations for a first time visitor? 😊

Are the empty new shop units owned by the council? Are they still empty?

Nice footage of Barry Island.

I am going on Tuesday for school

Blackpool council charge £6 for up to 3 hour’s parking

You should run for council love! You would win hands down.

I spent a lot of my childhood in Barry Island on the fair. I moved to England from Wales about 15 years ago - what is hugely apparent now I dont live in Wales is just how much the place is going backwards thanks to the Welsh government of Wales. All that money wasted on 20mph signs rather than spending the millions on things that actually needed it. And lots of historic buildings (such as the one in Penarth by Cardiff Bay) which are just going to rot. I dont think the Welsh government want any tourism, or for people to come to Wales to visit. Very sad indeed.

Great vlog thanks Steve 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 council are a waste of space

A other great video steve well done brilliant mate hope your family are OK

Great vlog again steve thanks again

Absolutely crazy to not allow accommodation, considering tourism brings a ton of money into the local economy, including the council.

When are you making a new video

Don't get lost in squash I think it's because don't get lost in Barry and don't get squashed by the ride

Mate i thought you were in your 30's but i was shocked to be wrong. You look amazing for your age unlike me who gets mistaken for an adult even tho im 15. (PS: when i come to Barry Island next, i hope to see you again.)

I got a video of wa barry island looked like in 1989 its a mental diffrence

Hopefully people make sure they vote and change the council, ridiculous that Henry was going to purchase and do the toilets uo and as usual old stuck in the past council sell it to someone else, clearly some back handers for the developers who probably do other work for the council

Problem with wales corrupt Labour party mafia

so many good things you could put on that car park 🙄

You should be promoting wales not slagging it down

I think it’s time for people to stand up no excuses for the toilets to be so bad she around still Do you need another restaurant when accommodations be more useful

You complaining about the council it’s not the councils fault complain in London wales has never got a good budget in any council
