:10:38. > :10:43.a popular spot. It is a relaxed and peaceful scene, but the elements
:10:44. > :10:46.aren't that always as forgiving. Three years ago, heavy rain resulted
:10:47. > :10:50.in chaos for people using the road behind the beach. Ten people had to
:10:51. > :10:56.be rescued after a bus was hit by a large wave during high tide. It is a
:10:57. > :11:04.fight against the forces of nature, a fight the experts say nature will

:11:10. > :11:14.rise and climate change, the consultants have advised us that in
:11:15. > :11:19.about 20 years, the shingle bank will become unsustainable. Common
:11:20. > :11:24.sense suggests that we actually build that road, start to think
:11:25. > :11:27.about building that road now. The county council is looking at a
:11:28. > :11:31.number of options on show at the Duke of Edinburgh pub which has been
:11:32. > :11:36.flooded itself countless times. Elevating the current road and
:11:37. > :11:40.reinforcing the sea defences aren't deemed to be realistic about
:11:41. > :11:45.predictions of how high sea levels will rise. The proposals is to build
:11:46. > :11:49.a bridge behind this pub. Another option is a bypass the was skirt
:11:50. > :11:54.around the top of the valley, bypassing Newgale altogether. Both
:11:55. > :12:01.options would see the pub and surf shop being left to see nature take
:12:02. > :12:05.its course. It's a shame. This is beautiful. There are not many people
:12:06. > :12:10.who wouldn't agree with that. It is vital for the local community in
:12:11. > :12:16.order that we can get access down here. Also, for an emergency access.
:12:17. > :12:23.A few miles up the road is a wool mill. 110 years old, it is the
:12:24. > :12:27.oldest working woollen Mill in Pembrokeshire. The owners say it is
:12:28. > :12:32.vital it is good access to get tourists in and to get the mill's
:12:33. > :12:38.products out. We've got to see something happen here. If we don't,
:12:39. > :12:42.this peninsular will just cease to exist. Most of the businesses won't
:12:43. > :12:49.continue to survive because most of them rely on. If there is no...
:12:50. > :12:54.There will be difficulty getting supplies and here. The A487 isn't a
:12:55. > :12:58.trunk road, so it is the council and not be Welsh Government that needs
:12:59. > :13:00.to maintain it. A new road will take time and money. Both are things that
:13:01. > :13:06.Newgale might not have much of. A sneak preview behind the scenes

:13:22. > :13:26.that hard work and all of those sacrifices that we make worth it.
:13:27. > :13:29.Attitudes towards people with mental health problems have become more
:13:30. > :13:35.A poll run by the mental health campaign Time To Change Wales
:13:36. > :13:38.suggests there's been a shift in public attitudes
:13:39. > :13:41.in the last four years, with more than three-quarters
:13:42. > :13:43.of people giving a positive response to questions around mental health.
:13:44. > :13:57.It is more common than you may think. Out of every four people, one
:13:58. > :14:04.of us will experience mental health problems in any given year. In this
:14:05. > :14:11.line-up, Andy is that person. I had a breakdown in 2002. I ended up
:14:12. > :14:18.getting kicked out of the house and in 2003, I found out that I had got
:14:19. > :14:21.bipolar. Was it a relief with the diagnosis? It was. It was really
:14:22. > :14:26.therapeutic because once I actually knew what was wrong, it made it so
:14:27. > :14:30.much more easy to understand where I got from and why they had gone
:14:31. > :14:34.wrong. Is there still a stigma attached to mental health issues?
:14:35. > :14:42.Absolutely. It is rife. Social stigma is kind of like a leper.
:14:43. > :14:50.Almost 72% of those said we had a positive attitude back in 2012, a
:14:51. > :14:54.recent survey suggests an almost 5% shift. Now more than three quarters
:14:55. > :15:01.of us responding positively. There is still a lot of work to do, so we
:15:02. > :15:04.know from the evidence that there are areas where the stigma is not
:15:05. > :15:10.shifting or not shifting fast enough. In particular problem with
:15:11. > :15:14.men, an issue with people in ethnic minority communities, it is a big
:15:15. > :15:18.problem amongst children and young people. One of the things we want to
:15:19. > :15:23.do today as well as noting where we have got to in terms of shifting
:15:24. > :15:28.stigma is to think, what do we want to do next in Wales? Pottery is one
:15:29. > :15:33.of the more popular classes on offer here. A charity working with adults
:15:34. > :15:41.with mental health challenges. I have autism. And ADHD. My parents,
:15:42. > :15:48.they said there was nothing wrong. They would say, no, no, it is just
:15:49. > :15:51.you being eccentric. It is not true. There is definitely something wrong.
:15:52. > :15:59.You get depression or you feel down, it is not like just feeling down. It
:16:00. > :16:03.is like the whole world has no reason to be year. There is no light
:16:04. > :16:09.at the end of the tunnel and you need to get out of that. You need to
:16:10. > :16:12.get out of it. I suffer from bipolar which is a hereditary condition. For
:16:13. > :16:16.I was diagnosed, I used to feel that the only way I could describe myself
:16:17. > :16:22.as a child and a teenager was but I felt like a Martian. Before I was
:16:23. > :16:28.diagnosed with bipolar, I was very worried about people with bipolar
:16:29. > :16:34.disorder. When I was diagnosed, it did make me panic a little bit. I
:16:35. > :16:39.find it easier to accept people with mental health problems now after
:16:40. > :16:41.being here. A change in attitudes. But it is still a work in progress.
:16:42. > :16:44.More than one in five public toilets have been closed
