Prison could expand to house 345 extra inmates

A prison in Bridgend could expand to house another 345 inmates, with an increase of 160 staff.

The company behind the development, Galliford Try Construction Limited, says it hopes to submit a full planning application for the proposed works in July.

Members of the public have been asked to give their views on early proposals to expand HMP Parc.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ), which owns the prison, granted HMP Parc pre application approval in September 2024 and said in a statement Wales and England would "run out of prison places by November" without urgent action.
