Interesting, Fester.
Even more interesting is this proposal for next Monday.
I must confess I cannot quite understand where exactly this is likely to happen and what type of businesses could open up.
Part of a beach front could see more street traders operating under controversial new plans.
An application will go before members of Conwy Council’s licensing committee on Monday.
Conwy County Borough Council, Community Development Services (C.D.S) made the application to change the designation of the area of land between West Shore Beach and West Parade, Llandudno from a prohibited street to a consent street.
In doing this anyone wishing to trade on the street could apply for permission to the council to do so without being charged a fee.
A report before councillors on the committee said: “The effect of changing the designation to a consent street would mean that any person wishing to trade on the street footway, beach or other area to which the public have access without payment may be able to obtain consent to do so from the council. Consent is obtained by way of an application and paying the appropriate fee.”
The council carried out a consultation to ask the public and other interested parties what they thought.
All 27 of the responses to the consultation were against the proposal to make it easier to trade on the street.
Tessa Wildermouth, Llandudno town clerk, wrote to the committee on behalf of the town council, raising concerns about the plans.
She said: “I have been asked to respond that members were greatly concerned about the impact of the proposed trading on existing businesses and considered that they should support local shops and cafes.
