When I went for my Sunday Paper to Penrhryn Bay at about 9.00 a.m. some Council men were installing a Xmas tree and lights on the Roundabout.  There were 3 men, one lorry and two cherry pickers so how much the whole thing is costing is anybody's guess with Sunday working at double time.

The tree itself look a rather poor specimen, very thin on top and will I suspect shed all its needles in the first strong wind.  The lights looked as though they were going to finish up as a dangling mess!   However, I shall reserve final judgement until the whole thing has been assembled and in working order.

We need some Americans on the town council, they know how to celebrate and light up for xmas L0L

No comment!

OMG Yorkie im trying always to get the councillors who read this forum motivated into action for xmas and you put santa peeing in the wind,if the old coggers see that i have no chance(never did anyway. All this negativity stems from the cock up they made with the Alice lights and nobody knows where they are. :rage:

[Nemesis]

The Alice Lights were sent back-- John Boyle knows the details.

[Yorkie]

So do I and it would not make pleasant reading for the local taxpayers.   JB was Chair of the Decorative Lighting Committee and I believe he still is. even after that fiasco!.    :rage:

  Ok this is my last post on the subject,yes i have been obsessed with trying with LITTLE response on here as well as from the TC ,now i have been looking forward to seeing what they are putting on the lamposts in Lloyd st and Madoc st ,oh dear they are the smallest things you could get ( only done lloyd st up to now so if they are different in Madoc st i apologies now), having seen what they have put on the lamposts in Conwy and Rhos-on-Sea, Llandudno town council are taking the p---.Sorry but it a case of there you have six new lights now get off our case,ITS PATHETIC but i tried now its up to someone else if theres any interest.

[Yorkie]

I am trying to give you support but one can only put down the lack of support to the general apathetic attitude normally displayed by all but a few of the people of the UK.

Don't give up - next year is just around the corner and I did hear that the Town Council have ambitions to get one or two of the Olymic swimming events to be held in the town.     Sorry, hang on a minute, just heard that the pool will be closed to International Swimming teams in favour of the Llandudno Over 45's "Lets all jump in togather and make a big splash" Club.   It seems that everything the Council try to do is thwarted by some outside influence, or their own ineptitude.

Wrex for President!  Rah, Rah, Rah!!!

Here in Berlin the lights are little short of stunning, and a great deal better that London's rather weak display. It's actually astonishing what can be achieved with simple white lights.
