I dunno Bosun.
You see, I think that the Venue Cymru is arguably more at the ‘epicentre’ of the town, than the Pier Pavilion.
A precedent was set when that was built. It’s modern, not Victorian in any way, but Llandudno as a town has not suffered from this ‘blight’ on its promenade.
If Mostyn Estates are so benevolent to the town, and so outraged by the new development, then why didn’t they bid for the land and either build something more ‘in keeping’ with tradition.
Or, if they were were really nice people, just landscape it and build nothing.
They’ve all had their chance, and done nothing, but now complain bitterly.
Reminds me of those who are angry about Brexit (as I am ) ... but never bothered to vote in the referendum.
