Colwyn Bay Waterfront Redevelopment

[Merddin Emrys]

  Yes, this morning I have woken up with a bruised leg, aching back, sore lower lip and a headache! All because some wally thought it would be a good idea to dump low concrete blocks on the top of the skip! Beware! Porth Erias is not just an eyesore, it is many accidents waiting to happen! I'll be giving the skip a wide berth from now on!

Have you been on a night out with Fester? 

Seriously, bad luck, ME, that was a nasty tumble.

If you go there on a week end they will not let you park your car! Everything seems to be reserved for the Water Ski Clubs et al.

CLAIM--- I did when I fell down a hole in the pavement-- keep your photos and make sure that your GP knows the facts. And before any clever beggar jumps in-- I am tee-total, so I wasn't under the influence !

[Merddin Emrys]

I have every intention of claiming, just need to have a word with a friend who is well up on legal matters!

Yorkie, the water ski people are welcome to the damned place! I wonder how much they pay to use it? In fact it would be interesting to see the accounts of the place, very little income and huge outgoings I should think!

On a positive note Mr Hollins has used the dinghy sailing hire a few times recently and has only praise for the facilities and the guys that work there. He says they are very knowledgeable and helpful. He has hired a dinghy and has had tuition. It cost £35 for half a day to hire a dinghy.

On that score, I'm expecting a reply to my FoI request soon (they're already legally overdue in replying - no surprise there).

The reply to that should make for very interesting reading!
Hollins glad one part of the skip is working well!

[Ian]

Indeed; any response will be fascinating to see.

I am tempted to take a day off from my pathetic existence and hire a dinghy.    (Is it like a canoe?)

The Council held a meeting on Friday to discuss parking charges and it has been agreed to extend Llandudno's North Shore on-road parking scheme to Colwyn Bay and Kinmel Bay promenades.

Not sure if the parking charges will then be increased.

  First time I've ever heard of a Kinmel Bay prom. It's got a car park close to Asda, a bit of a road in Sandy Cove used by residents and that's about all. You can of course walk and cycle along the coastline, but you cannot take cars.

[Hugo]

I wonder if they are referring to the car parking area on the Kinmel Bay side of the new pedestrian Dragon's Bridge?      They did something similar in Colwyn Bay about 20 years ago when they had " Traffic Wardens on cycles"  when you had to pay to park on the Rhos/ Colwyn Bay Promenade.    That didn't go down very well with locals and tourists alike.

Strangely the car park on the  west side of the harbour is in Denbighshire.

Conwy's Kinmel Bay car park is on St ASaph Avenue North adjacent to Asda.

Letter to CCBC sent off yesterday, I await their reply!
