"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

"Not for long, however, as low footfall, spiralling business rates and lack of financial security will mean by Christmas, the entire centre in Bridgend will consist of empty shop fronts. Filled with artisan crafts and local produce, shop owner Kim Whitehouse is despondent.

Local artisan shop owner Kim Whitehouse is closing after nearby chain closures eliminated customer flow, and residents report few prospects for new small businesses beyond vape shops and barbers.
