The city centre has come in for criticism recently for its empty buildings, closed-down shops and an air of neglect.

It started leafleting Llantwit Major in February, soon after Vale of Glamorgan Council announced that temporary houses for refugees were going to be built on the site of a closed-down primary school.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Economy Minister Robert Habeck will attend the event, a briefing on where the new chip factory will be built - on the site of a closed-down coal plant.

The city is using two closed-down schools and its civic center to house migrants in the coming days, when temperatures are expected to dip to dangerous levels.

Another long-overdue contender is British thespian Bill Nighy as a closed-down executive making the most of his last months in ‘Ikiru’ remake ‘Living.’
