Bridgend councillors have granted more time to the developer of the Ty’n Y Waun Solar project

Developers have been granted an extra five years to build a solar farm site planned for the west of Heol-y-Cyw in Bridgend.

The decision was made by Bridgend County Borough Council’s planning committee at a meeting in June for the project known as the Ty’n Y Waun Solar development.

This was originally approved by the Welsh Government in 2024 on the condition it would be built no more than five years after the approval.

Once completed the new energy site located between the villages of Heol-y-Cyw and Bryncethin would be expected to produce enough power for around 12,500 homes per year.

However developers at Cenin Renewables requested an extension of an additional five years to start work on the project due to potential delays with connecting the site to the National Grid.

The report given to councillors said this came as a result of changes made by the UK Government in April 2025 on how how renewable projects can connect to the grid.

It added that because of this there was a “reasonable concern that the connection date could easily be pushed back to a date that would be beyond the five-year lifetime of the permission”.

A representative speaking on behalf of Cenin Renewables said it was a timeframe change only with the project remaining exactly the same in scale and with no material planning impacts.

They added it was simply “prudent foresight” as the connection could take longer than the consent would allow for.

Councillor Tim Thomas of St. Bride’s Minor and Ynysawdre called for members to reject the proposal as he felt it could have a have “widespread impact” to the community who would have no definitive timeline for the works to be completed. He also noted the delay could see the environmental data that was collected made obsolete.

Others raised concern over a section of the report which noted how the plan could “dovetail the construction of the project” with the proposed Mynydd y Gaer wind farm that is currently waiting to be decided on.

Members felt the suggestion was speculative given the latter project was yet to be approve, though planning officers reminded the chamber the solar farm project had already been given the go-ahead by Welsh Government with the decision to approve the amended condition not linked to the wind farm site.

Cllr Simon Griffiths said he was inclined to accept the change as it would be short-sighted for the developer to have to abandon the green plans because they didn’t have enough time to connect to the grid.

Following recommendations the plans to amend the date of the works were passed by a vote eight members to four.

Johnson & Johnson is betting big on America, crediting Trump tax policies, top talent and a strong investment environment for inspiring a $55 billion U.S. investment push that spotlights growing confidence in U.S. manufacturing.

“We have the best talent, we have the best investment environment and, very importantly, we have now the tax policy enacted with this administration that has enabled us to be competitive,” CEO Joaquin Duato said on FOX Business’ “Mornings with Maria” on Tuesday.

“We’re playing with a hand tied to our back compared to companies that were domiciled outside of the U.S.”

“Now we can create high-skilled jobs, we can invest in America, and we can be competitive,” he added.

Duato told “Mornings With Maria” that the company’s goal is to manufacture all its medicines, medical technologies and more in the U.S., touting the move as a “show of confidence in American manufacturing.”

Johnson & Johnson’s recent endeavors also include a more-than-$1 billion investment in a U.S. Vision manufacturing facility in Jacksonville, Florida.

While discussing such investments, Duato reiterated Johnson & Johnson’s role in medical technology and pharmaceuticals, distinguishing those businesses from the company’s former consumer health segment.

“We are now focused on science and innovation. So what is our goal now? Our goal is to continue to deliver sustained growth through patient breakthroughs,” he said.

Duato pointed to a recently-approved medicine called Icotyde, a once-daily oral treatment for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with efficacy and safety designed to rival injectable biologics.

He said the development will “transform… autoimmune diseases.”

On the medical technology side, the company is seeking approval for its first robotic surgical system, which aims to improve surgical outcomes by assisting surgeons.

“We are not a one-trick pony company. We’re a company with a stable of blockbusters,” he said.

“We have 28 platforms at Johnson & Johnson of more than $1 billion, so that gives us the confidence to be so bold to say we have line of sight to double-digit growth for Johnson & Johnson by the end of the decade, and that is remarkable for a company which is more than $100 billion.”

Card declined, bank asking questions, statement full of casino entries – every Aussie punter has hit at least one of these walls. E-wallets (e-wallets) solve the lot, sitting between your bank and the casino so deposits fly through, details stay private, and the monthly statement shows one tidy wallet top-up instead of a dozen casino lines. This shortlist ranks five sites that handle e-wallet banking properly, and Crown Casino Online leads it – pairing wallet options like eZee Wallet, MiFinity and Neosurf with a games floor and bonus slate the niche wallet specialists can’t touch.

The legal picture first, since it shapes everything. Under Australia’s Interactive Gambling Act, no locally licensed operator may offer real-money online casino play, so every site here – the front-runner included – operates from offshore. Crown Casino Online runs on a licence from the government of Curaçao with eCOGRA certification vouching for game fairness, and it holds a firm 18-and-over line with identity checks wired into registration. And to head off the usual mix-up: this online brand has no connection to Crown Resorts or the venues in Melbourne and Sydney – a similar name on a completely separate business.

Why build a whole list around wallets? Because the payment method quietly decides half of your experience. Wallets and vouchers credit instantly, keep card numbers out of the casino’s hands entirely, and add a natural budgeting layer – you can only punt what you’ve loaded.

The five picks below were chosen for how well they support that style of play, with real limits and processing times pulled from the operators rather than banner promises.

Why Do Smart Aussie Punters Bank With E-Wallets?

The case for wallets comes down to three words: speed, privacy, control. Deposits through eZee Wallet, MiFinity, Skrill, or Neteller land in the casino balance near-instantly, with no card processor in the middle to decline the transaction or flag it for a phone call. Your card and bank details never touch the casino at all – the wallet is the only party that sees them, which strips out the biggest data-security worry of online play.

Control is the underrated third leg. A wallet holds exactly what you’ve loaded into it, so it doubles as a tight budget: when the wallet’s empty, the session’s over, no overdraft temptation in sight. Prepaid vouchers like Neosurf and CashtoCode push this even further – bought with cash at a retailer, they carry zero connection to your bank whatsoever.

For punters who treat gambling as entertainment with a fixed price tag, that structure is genuinely useful, not just convenient.

What to Check Before Trusting Any Wallet Cashier?

Not every site that lists a wallet logo handles wallet banking well, so a few checks sort the genuine article from the window dressing.

The strongest wallet-friendly casinos share the same backbone, and it’s worth confirming each point before the first deposit goes in:

• A verifiable offshore licence and independent fairness certification.
• At least two distinct wallet or voucher options, not a single token logo.
• Instant deposit crediting with minimums low enough for casual play.
• Withdrawal routes that don’t force everything back through slow bank rails.
• Wagering terms in plain English, since unfinished wagering blocks more payouts than any banking issue.

One honest caveat applies across most of the offshore scene: wallets dominate the deposit side, while withdrawals often route through crypto or bank transfer instead. That’s true of the front-runner here, too, and the article says so plainly rather than pretending otherwise. Knowing the exit route before you enter is half the game.

Crown Casino Online: Wallet Deposits Done Properly

The top pick treats wallet banking as a first-class citizen rather than an afterthought. eZee Wallet deposits run from 30 AUD up to 4 000 AUD, MiFinity from 25 AUD to the same ceiling, Neosurf vouchers start at just 20 AUD with room up to 6 000 AUD, and CashtoCode covers the cash-voucher crowd from 25 AUD – every one of them crediting almost instantly, with the site quoting fifteen minutes as the outside edge. That spread covers the full wallet spectrum: a classic e-wallet, a borderless wallet, and two voucher options for punters who want zero bank involvement. Aussies who prefer this style of banking can register, pick their wallet at the cashier and fund an account at Crown Casino Australia online in less time than it takes to make a cuppa, then head straight for the reels with the balance already showing. On the way out, verified players cash out from 30 AUD up to 6 000 AUD per transaction, with crypto clearing in about 24 hours and bank routes taking three to seven business days – so the smart wallet punter deposits through their wallet for the speed and privacy, then exits through crypto when the win lands. It’s a banking setup built for exactly the player this list is written for.

Around that cashier sits the deepest entertainment package of the five. The catalogue clears 1,700 games with the pokies count past 4,000 – Playson and BGaming headliners, RTPs from 88% to 98%, stakes from 0.2 AUD – plus a live floor of roughly 39 dealer tables, crash games, 26 lottery designs, and over 15 poker variants. New sign-ups are courted with a 100% match plus 100 free spins, headlined to 1000 AUD, though the fine print carries a tighter first-deposit cap in places, so the terms deserve a read.

A 10-tier VIP ladder, Friday spins, Sunday top-ups, and slots cashback to 15% keep the value rolling after the welcome fades.

Wild Tokyo: Skrill, Neteller, and PayID Under One Roof

Wild Tokyo brings the most familiar wallet names to the table – Skrill and Neteller sit alongside PayID, cards, and crypto, giving Aussies the classic e-wallet pairing that many older punters already hold accounts with. Deposits credit quickly, and the site’s reputation for rapid exits (PayID and crypto cash-outs often inside the hour) means wallet players aren’t stuck waiting once the fun’s over.

The Curaçao-licensed operator backs its banking with sheer volume: a pokies library widely reported in the thousands from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Evolution. Its multi-deposit welcome package is stacked with free spins, but quotes different figures across the web, so the on-site terms are the only ones worth believing.

For Skrill and Neteller loyalists who also want a monster library, this is the natural second stop.

Slots Gallery: The Widest Wallet Menu on the List

Slots Gallery, run by Hollycorn N.V. under Curaçao and Comoros licensing, wins the pure variety contest with around 22 banking options, including Skrill, Neteller, and ecoPayz, next to cards and the major coins. That breadth means almost any wallet an Aussie already uses will slot straight in, and crypto withdrawals reported at 10 to 20 minutes give wallet depositors a lightning exit ramp.

The games side matches the banking ambition – content from well over a hundred providers including NetEnt, Play’n GO, Playtech, and Pragmatic Play. Bonuses run big with wagering around the 40x mark, so the eyes-open rule applies as always. For punters whose wallet of choice is the less common one, this is the site most likely to support it.

Where Does the Front-Runner Outpace the Wallet Specialists?

Set the five side by side, and the shape of the choice is clear. The specialists each carry one banner – Wild Tokyo, its Skrill-Neteller pairing, Slots Gallery, its 22-option menu – while the leader covers the wallet essentials and then wins everywhere else. Four distinct wallet and voucher routes, instant crediting, and the deepest game floor of the group are a package none of the others assembles in one place.

There’s a privacy angle to the top pick’s voucher support worth underlining, too. Neosurf and CashtoCode can be bought with cash, meaning a punter can fund play with literally no bank or card trail – the strongest privacy setup on this list. Combined with deposit limits and the rest of the responsible-play toolkit, it gives cautious players both anonymity and structure, which is a rarer combination than it should be.

Goldenbet: Tidy Alternative Wallets and Fast Exits

Goldenbet approaches wallets from a slightly different angle, leaning on AstroPay and similar alternative wallet rails alongside Visa and Mastercard. The result is the same where it counts: painless instant deposits and a cashier with a reputation for speed, with PayID withdrawals commonly reported in the five-to-thirty-minute range – the quickest exit on this list.

The catalogue is curated rather than colossal, favouring a premium spread of pokies and tables over raw volume. That suits a particular punter perfectly: someone who wants wallet-style deposits, near-instant cash-outs, and a tidy shortlist of quality games without wading through ten thousand titles. As a banking-first pick, it’s hard to fault.

Boho Casino: Flexible Wallets With a Competitive Streak

Boho Casino rounds out the five with a flexible payment spread that covers wallet and voucher options alongside cards and crypto, all under a Curaçao licence. Crypto cash-outs typically reported at 30 to 60 minutes, keeping the exit brisk, and the cashier flow is simple enough that first-time wallet users won’t get lost.

Its personality lives in the engagement layer: frequent tournaments with serious prize pools, a structured VIP program, and a welcome offer reported up to 3 000 AUD plus 225 free spins with BGaming among the suppliers.

For wallet punters who like their banking convenience served with leaderboards and a steady drip of promotions, Boho is the most entertaining way to close the list.

Every E-Wallet Option Compared in One Table

Read it honestly, and two truths stand out. On raw exit speed, Goldenbet and Slots Gallery take the stopwatch; on the complete wallet experience – voucher privacy, low 20 AUD entry, four distinct routes, and the biggest games floor wrapped around them – the front-runner’s lead is comfortable. Which truth matters more depends on whether you’re optimising minutes or the whole night.

Load an E-Wallet, Claim Your Spins, and Play It Smart

Getting the full benefit takes one evening of setup. Open or top up your wallet of choice, then register at the casino with accurate details, set the currency to AUD, confirm being 18 or over, and upload a clear ID straight away – at the top pick verification clears within 48 hours, and sorting it on day one is what keeps later withdrawals moving.

Deposit from 20 AUD via Neosurf or from 25 to 30 AUD through the other wallets, claim the 100% welcome match and 100 free spins with the terms read end to end, and clear the wagering before requesting a cash-out.

Then keep it in the fun column. The beauty of wallet banking is that it builds the budget in – load only what’s painless to lose, and the wallet itself enforces the limit. Crown Casino Online adds deposit caps, self-exclusion, and a quick self-check test at the bottom of its pages, and the other four carry similar tools; a gambling support service in your state is always there if play ever stops feeling like play.

Handled that way, an E-Wallet and a good casino make a clean, contained night’s entertainment – sign up, load sensibly, and may the reels be generous.
