Greetings all,
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on why the council are so apathetic about the 'decorative' lighting on the promenade and the welcome/croeso sign atop Penrhyn hill? a couple of years ago the council actually made the effort to extend the promenade lighting beyond venue cymru and all the way to Bodafon fields, only to leave them switched off for the majority of the year!!
We pride ourselves as being a year round resort now, so why are we giving the impression to early/late season visitors that we can't be bothered to welcome them properly? These lights should be on every day of the year, not just a couple of hours from July to August. Hoteliers and traders are struggling enough without the council taking a couldn't care less attitude to the image of the town. I know there will be people who argue that it costs too much to run them, but this is just stupid shortsightedness, and there are some who will argue that the town would be better off without tourists, well, If that is what they want,maybe they should move to a town that doesn't have a tourism trade? Like it or not, we ARE a holiday destination (and a damn good one too) but we are in danger of spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar !
