178/13 Christmas Event/Activities:
a. The Chairman welcomed Teresa Carnell, on behalf of Colwyn Bay Chamber of
Trade, to provide information about the proposed Christmas event/activities to
be funded by the Town Council grant of £6,000.
Teresa began by thanking the Town Council for providing the grant each year.
This had recently been used for a Christmas parade involving local
schoolchildren, but had been affected by bad weather for the past two years. A
decision was therefore taken by the CoT earlier this year to cease the parade
and consider alternative events/activities to bring people into the town during
the festive season. Enquiries were made with a land train provider, with the
intention of offering a land train service to cover Rhos on Sea, Colwyn Bay
and Old Colwyn, however, this was already booked to be elsewhere. Teresa
therefore outlined the two remaining options and confirmed that a final
decision would be made in the next week or so.
d. Min. 398/13(a) – Land Train:
The Clerk submitted a response from Mr Roberts to the request for an additional
stop, confirming that the proposed route had been chosen by the operator to cause
as little disruption as possible to other road users, with turning points at Porth
Eirias and the Cayley Promenade. However, an extension of the route to Rhos
Point may be considered at a future stage, depending on its success.
Sorry only info I could find.
