Given the state of the North Shore at the moment and the fact that it’s advertising itself to our unsuspecting visitors, as an award winning Beach, despite losing its Blue Flag status, I thought I’d take a look at what exactly was ment by European Blue Flag and Seaside Award (resort): that the Council claim we have this year.
http://www.conwy.gov.uk/upload/public/attachments/379/North_shore_BLUE_FLAG.pdf
It appears CCBC are advertising the North Shore is still a Blue Flag designated area and low and behold, we have W.C. facilities on North Parade / Happy Valley Road. No mention of the W.C.’s at Venue Cymru though and to finish, I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you think the area designated for Bathing Only is fit for purpose.

The hands are on the clock.
I asked the man at the toll gate if the summit parking was free if you had the £15 pass and he said YES.
He wanted to know why everyone was asking the same question so I told him, " it is the power of the internet "

Heard on the news today that the proposed tenant, Travelodge, were trying to make a deal with their landlords to reduce their rent liabilities. Not looking good.

It is a big deal this, because I for one, had high hopes of several improvements during 2012, but nothing at all has transpired apart from a floral clock....(which is no longer floral, is often broken, and can't be seen)

The Mayor emphatically PROMISED that the Pier Pavilion site would have been greatly progressed, but nothing at all has happened.

As Dave well knows, I was going to re-locate and expand my business next month, into Mostyn St.
However, this was based on the fact that The Clarence would be renovated, that other businesses would open on Hooson's Corner, and several other improvements would be made.

Sadly, none of those improvements have even begun, and to make matters worse, we now see the closure of The Little Deli, Gimberts, MerryMoon and others, on top of the existing empty premises.
The London Pub is also for sake at a knock-down.

Not surprisingly I have decided that the environment is not conducive to investing in that area.  &shake&

Sorry Dave, my keyboard has been playing up.... I need a new PC!

It should have said, The London is for sale at a knock-down price.
