Plans for new M4 services drawn up

PROPOSALS to build a new 24-hour motorway service station on the M4 between Bridgend and Swansea have been unveiled - although council bosses have questioned the need for it.

- 

The plans from the Draycott Group are for a development on land off the M4, close to the Pyle interchange at junction 37, with a potential new access road also built off the northern carriageway of the A4229.

If approved by Bridgend council bosses, it could eventually see the development of a petrol station, electric vehicle charging points, and three drive-through restaurants.

These could include a McDonald's, Starbucks and Greggs, along with associated seating areas and toilet facilities.
