Tacky Colwyn Sign Removed Off Prom For Even Tackier Sign!

Was this an April fools???? Thank you to a reader who has sent this in, The Colwyn sign is being removed from the Prom early this morning. For the 150th anniversary year, these huge letters are being replaced. In conjunction with the Twinning Towns, Colwyn Bay is to be renamed as it twins with Pender in Nebraska to celebrate its ties with Sir John Pender, who sold the land the town was built on in 1875. A fantastic event celebrating Twinning Towns to foster international cooperation, cultural exchange, and understanding, promoting peace and reconciliation while also offering opportunities for economic and educational partnerships. I'm so glad the weather is beautiful to really showcase all the town has to offer, especially in its anniversary year! From... https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082311167761

Conwy Council...New “film office” could bring Netflix and HBO shows to Conwy! Any thoughts!

One does feel that there are far bigger issues than this in the county, with council tax rising faster than the temperature! So how much will all this cost? How many staff will be needed to manage this? Are they new staff? It would be nice to know all these things! A new “film office” within Conwy County Council could boost the area as a filming location for Netflix and HBO shows such as ‘Game of Thrones’, says a council report. At a cabinet meeting at Bodlondeb, councillors were presented with the council’s Conwy Corporate Events and Film Strategy 2025-2030. With Conwy adopting its first Events Strategy in 2009, the latest draft represents the fourth since then and will give a strategic direction for the next five years. The latest iteration now includes the film strategy for the first time, and councillors heard how Conwy had 70 filming enquiries over the past year alone. The new film office will provide production companies with one-stop contact and specialist advice an...

Council Questioned Over Kinmel Bay Sign Erected In Llandudno!

So what bright spark puts up a sign saying (Thank you for visiting Kinmel Bay) spells it incorrectly and puts in in the wrong town? You guessed it, Conwy Council! A SIGN thanking drivers for visiting Kinmel Bay has caused confusion among residents - not least because the sign is in Llandudno. A road sign reading "Thank you for visiting Cinmel Bay", in both English and Welsh, was spotted nearly 17 miles away in Llandudno. Attached to a lamppost on Lloyd Street, resident Tracey Hughes said the road sign was "very secure" and an "very impressive" feat for whoever had stuck it eight to ten feet up the post. The sign's English translation also uses the Welsh term for Kinmel - Cinmel.When Ms Hughes asked Conwy Council about the sign, they thought she was "joking", as did the authority's roads department. "Me and the lady on reception both wondered if it had been an April Fool's prank and had been there ever since," Tracey told ...

Llandudno hotel ‘no longer viable as a business’, say owners!

The hotel boom in Llandudno is over and the council need to let some of these hotels be converted. A HOTEL in Llandudno considered “no longer viable as a business” by its owners could be converted into a residential property. The Epperstone, a bed and breakfast at Abbey Road, could become a home for its owners who have applied to Conwy County Borough Council for a change of use. Owner Mark Baker, who runs the business with wife Tina, said the business was “no longer viable” due to increased costs, fewer tourists and competition from AirBnB lets, chain hotels and the tourist tax. Mr Baker said he also works full time to help pay the hotel’s bills, and that the “rarely full” bed and breakfast’s closure would not affect the town’s tourism industry. The bed and breakfast would be a home for the couple and their adult children. In a planning support statement, Mr Baker said: “We are currently living in the basement which is unsuitable for our living requirements. “Due to declini...

Llandudno hotel sees price drop after four years on market!

The hotel trade in Llandudno is struggling as is every other business, the country is on its knees, and we are paying millions for asylum and more whilst businesses struggle. Something needs to be done and quickly. A HOTEL in the centre of Llandudno has seen its price reduced for a second time in a bid to find a buyer. The Wilton, on the promenade, went on the market in late summer 2021 with owners Paul Burke and Joanne Oliver looking to retire. Originally for sale for £695,000, the hotel's price was then brought down to £660,000 with commercial agent Christie and Co last year. Almost four years after first being placed for sale, the hotel's price has dropped again, and is now available for £595,000 - £100,000 less than its original price. A four-star 14-bed hotel described as “attractive”, it is made up of five floors including a guest lounge, bedrooms and owners’ accommodation.Overlooking the promenade and Llandudno’s famous Pier, its location...

The 'Welsh Riviera'! Oh Please! And the there is a question about wasting more money!

So if anyone noticed when these steps and posts were put in they went into the sand and sea! The sand will always be high, so why dig down to put these posts and rails! You would think the council had money to burn! Oh yes hang on it does, ours and the increase in council tax is clear evidence of this! Eyebrows were raised in a Conwy seaside town when a digger trundled onto its beach and began excavating sand from a flight of steps. Curiosity turned to bewilderment when safety handrails were attached to the steps, which were then reburied. Residents in Rhos on Sea were left baffled by the sight of the new railings partly protruding from the sand. “So now the handrails have become a tripping hazard,” sighed one person The bizarre episode highlighted the mercurial nature of a beach that was “created” just three years ago. One million tonnes of sand were sucked from Liverpool Bay and pumped onto the old beach to raise it by 16ft. It looked wonderful a...
