On this edition of the Vale This week, we'll get the latest on a bus dispute which could impact bus services in the rural Vale of Glamorgan over Christmas and well into the New Year.After the news, the Vale of Glamorgan Council has purchased the former Wilko store in Barry. We'll speak to local businesses and traders on Holton Road about the news and what they hope will happen with the space.We'll visit CCR Energy in Aberthaw to find out more about a new Academy which is aiming to inspire young people around the history of the site and its future as a green energy hub, as well as the potential future careers on offer.Plus, a new Opera Created here in Wales is inviting audiences to do something a bit different: dress up like a pirate. It’s running at Penarth Pier next weekend, and Welsh singer Richard Parry will join us to tell us more about An Act of Piracy.Got a story to share? Email news@broradio.fm
