Perhaps private contractors should be employed to cut the grass?

It is not the workforce at fault it is either the management or CCBC have slashed their budget leaving the whole of Conwy a mess.

We could talk about the gardeners in a certain Llandudno park who always finish work early and spend their last half hour reading the paper in their van?

Or even others who hide round Marine Drive on the Orme, or Old Mill Road, Dwygyfylchi or any of a hundred other places.  They need Trackers in their vehicles and no doubt the cost would be repaid in very little time.   No supervision, that's the problem.  Sack the Managers.    :rage:

unfortunately the tracker only tells you were the vans parked  not what the workers are doing, they may be in the right place but still reading the paper not digging up the weeds

Maybe the thing to do, is for us honest and concerned Ratepayers to report any incident we see and then wait for the manager to get out his white wash brush, unless there is a decent sized carpet nearby that hasn't already been filled underneath!    ZXZ

As DaveR has reported on another thread, work has started this morning to demolish BILLINGTONS' GARAGE in Conwy.

Currently parts of the structure at either end have been reduced to rubble so it is hoped the whole thing eventually goes by the end of the day.

Work is well underway converting the Deganwy Castle Hotel into the imaginatively named 'The Moorings' apartments.

If i have;nt already can i add the town beach to our list,this one could have been sorted by CCBC easily but they choose to leave the weeds growing on the steps the sand covered in stones which could easily have been cleared by hand,useless.

I don;t know if this is good or not,Parc Llandudno are at last getting rid of the hoardings,they have applied for temporar,y landscaping,which means they can find anybody interested in Llandudno

A new one for your list Dave, the (lack of) Public convenience at the junction of North Parade and Happy Valley Road (a listed building by all accounts) perhaps it's time for a mass protest like http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Bog_standard_beach_protest the one just held in Adelaide Australia. Seems mighty strange the Council can keep open the Loo’s on the Zig Zag road on the Orme that are used by a few people a day but can’t or won’t meet the needs of a few thousand visitors per day on the North Shore.

That is a coincidence.

Earlier on, I noticed a sign on the promenade at the top of the wooden jetty stating ‘Toilets’ and pointing in that direction.

I guess it ought to have been removed a long time ago so not to confuse visitors. :-}}}
