A friend of mine takes him something to eat every lunch time and she has contacted the Social Services a few times to get him the help he needs.   The Social Services were already aware of his plight but nothing appears to have been done yet.
My wife took him a package which included a torch, batteries, chocolate and crisps  and a few more things that she thought that he might need and he took the package, looked inside and said thanks but I've got everything I need already and handed it back to her
That old saying that "beggars can't be choosers"  isn't always right then.      ???

Are the crisps and chocolate still available at all, Hugo?

   I suppose i am not really surprised that he said he has everything he needs. The amount of bags,cases,suitcases etc he has around him on the bench, they must be full of something. So, O.K. he is not in desperate need. All the more reason that someone should shift him off his bench and tell him to take his bags with him.

Is he homeless? Surely CCBC could provide B&B for him as they can for any other homeless person?

I can't remember exactly what my friend said about her conversation with the Social Services, but I think that it's not quite straight forward.  But the wheels are not turning quick enough because that conversation was about 2 weeks ago.

Yes, he's  been there well over a month, I think?

I'm advised that he has already been offered Hostel accommodation by the Social Services so I'm assuming that he has turned that down too.       ???

  if he has been offered some sort of a roof over his head and turned it down, well just tell him to go---and take his stuff with him. The building he is sheltering in belongs to Colwyn council. Therefore presumably the bench is provided by Conwy council for up to 6/8 people to sit on. Not for him to practice getting a suntan on his manly chest. If he won't budge then I am afraid its up to the Police.

I see the toilets on Rhos promenade opposite the Cayley pub are due to close for 8 weeks from 6th June, for refurbishment. There's no doubt that the work needs doing, but the timing seems strange, at the height of the tourist season. Also,the sign notifying the closure makes no mention of any alternative toilets in the area. Its almost as if the council are doing their best to discourage tourism. Its a shame, when they have just done such a good job of replacing the prom railings.

How ridiculous can this council get? Perhaps they could put some portable loos in the vicinity.......but no they won't have thought of people's needs!

Do you think that they might bring the snowploughs out during August? :o

Unbelievable timing, who in their right mind would schedule the work in the summer season?!

I emailed the council this morning and this is their response.

"The work was scheduled to start today at Combermere Gardens and temporary toilets are included in the scope of works (hence the omission of alternatives from the signage), but due to unforeseen circumstances the temporary facilities could not be delivered, therefore the public convenience will remain open until  the temporary facilities arrive on site.
The specification of the temporary facility is yet to be confirmed, however, the contractor has been made aware of the footfall and the facility will be monitored and maintained by Conwy CBC convenience operatives."
 
This doesnt explain why the work is being done in the holiday season, but at least it appears that there will be alternative facilities

At least some form of common sense has prevailed, but  why choose the busy holiday season in the first place.     ???
