Regarding the Tudno Castle Hotel, Judith Phillips says that the owner successfully contested the lease forfeiture attempt by Mostyn Estates and now has control of the building again. It's looking in a shocking state now, several large areas of render are ready to fall in any gale or storm, in my view.

Then they should be forced to do the building up or get rid.

   This is more than an eyesore, it absolutely smacks you in the eye if you approach it from the west shore in Llandudno.
   I refer to the color of the tempory (thank God) fencing around the building site at the end of Abbey Road, more or less opposite the hospice.
  I cannot describe it, its unbelievable. Its a lenghty stretch and it is painted in an undescribable color, a mixture of pink and purple.  Who the hell found this paint, or is it a laugh?   Mike

Probably someone's left overs! Is that still in the conservation area, as the boundary is a little strange in that area?

We saw that happening and found it difficult to believe our eyes. Dark Green or Brown would have been acceptable, but mauve / pink makes it ideal as a target for RAF bombing runs but little else.

Maybe it helps to brighten up the view for the folk in St David's Hospice considering the Town and County Councils have done little to add any other form of cheer to the Town.     :rage:
