I wonder why nobody at Venue Cymru did not consider giving you a pair of complimentary tickets and retain the letter.

Alternatively, Venue Cymru could have written a big tick across the letter and handed it back to you.

It wouldn't stop someone photocopying the letter before they went in for the tickets.

You have seen the letter so would it not have to be a colour photocopy rather than a B&W?

In which case, anyone so inclined could also photocopy the complimentary entrance ticket.

Can anyone help me find information on dates and times when access to the Great Orme is restricted.
We usually pay a visit to Llandudno before Christmas which includes checking family graves at St Tudnos.
(Hope the headstones have not been inspected this year and sprouted fence stobs).
If access to St Tudnos by car is barred surely they can not stop us walking, eg Monks path then over the summit.

I'm not sure about access on foot but non resident road access via Old Road and Ty Gwyn Road will be closed from 6am to 6pm on the 10th of November

What we need is ACTION by our Councillors to preserve the Status Quo and ensure that the daily rights we normally have are preserved and not destroyed by these gas guzzling interlopers.

Or we could march on the Orme with a large group of locals who have a similar interest.   Maybe the NWWN could mount a campaign and give it the publicity it deserves?

You'll only get publicity from the NWWN if  you pay for.  I think we've established that anything which concerns local issues or indeed anything remotely interesting to local residents will not get print space with the NWWN unless released by a: the Council or b: the Police.

We have freedom to roam in Scotland,thank god for that.
If national security is not threatened, NO ONE has the right to restrict your access.
I am sure most people would have the sense not to walk on the rally route and this blanket ban on the Great Orme has more to do with getting people to pay for access than any other reason.
If they intend to charge for special parking areas , entertainment etc ,no problem for those who want it but why should everyone else be denied enjoyment of one of the best areas of open space in North Wales.

Exactly. Simply close off the Marine Drive and access points onto it from the Orme. The rest can remain open.

I agree 100%  it is all about the money, the rally coming here is great and I was looking forward to  it (until I saw the ludicrous charges!) but to say the Orme is out of bounds is outrageous!

Also if you live on the Orme does that mean you can have no visitors on that day? If I should wish to visit friends who live on the Orme I'm not allowed to??!
