Thank you, Cambrian.

I wonder if the audible next bus stop announcement on the Number 5 Service has changed as well.

If so, this will be great news to any partially-sighted passengers wishing to alight here.  :)

I have heard that the announcements have been turned off by many drivers as there are various errors and mispronunciations.

1st Shelter below the Cayley demolished and the site cleared. The work man says there are no plans to replace it that he knows of and there are 2 more to be demolished. Hope they put a few seats of some kind on there !

Conwy County Borough Council has begun work this week on the promenade shelters in Rhos on Sea. Two of the shelters were found to have corroded metal and degraded concrete to the extent that they were considered to have come to the end of their useful life, and these have been demolished.
The remaining five shelters will be undergoing a programme of repair.

This is exactly what Llandudno Pier owner has planned for Rhos Point - and we're already excited
The site at nearby Rhos on Sea has fallen into disrepair but if all goes well, it'll get a huge Mediterranean makeover.

Back in the 1970s, a large section of Rhos Point was a very pleasant open area for people to sit and look at the view. In my view, its a shame to see the entire area disappear under buildings - CCBC seems more interested in making money than thinking about the public interest.

A new supermarket - that was approved by a planning inspector despite local opposition - is due to open this autumn.

Co-op’s plans to demolish the former United Reformed Church Hall on Colwyn Avenue in Rhos-on-Sea were approved last May.

Planning inspector Declan Beggan gave it the go-ahead despite Conwy Council’s planning committee previously turning the application down.    Cont     https://www.dailypost.co.uk/business/business-news/co-op-reveals-new-north-15981834

Something similar happened a few years ago by St Trillo's Chapel in Rhos and I think that they were lucky to escape with the injuries they sustained as it could have been far worse.
I hope that the people in this car were not seriously injured

When I was driving from Penrhyn Bay I noticed that the lifeboat was heading back to Llandudno and then by the Cayley Embankment slipway in Rhos  there was a crowd of people there including the Police and members of the RNLI.
I asked an official what was happening but he said that it was an ongoing incident and could not make a comment other than to say that no one was hurt
