We have been told its too expensive,what can you say.

If the Council has got money to waist on monstrosities in Colwyn Bay, why can't we have some for Happy Valley and Llandudno. Or do we have to wait until we are re designated a deprived and derelict area in need of rejuvenation. Because the way it's going "IT WONT TAKE LONG"

In 2009 Happy Valley was awarded a Green Flag.  This confirms our belief that Happy Valley is a park worthy of a status of national excellence.

What particular monstrosities would you like? Giant statues of CCBC councillors, perhaps?

I know where there is a giant skip that you could have, it would fit the Pier Pavilion site!  :twoface:

In 2009 Happy Valley was awarded a Green Flag.  This confirms our belief that Happy Valley is a park worthy of a status of national excellence.

 

In 2009 Trojan the Happy Valley was fully funded but that funding has now finished and all the Gardeners who were employed to look after it are no longer employed.

The grass remains uncut (the cheapest option) because some IDIOT within CCBC decided parts of the grasslands were areas of SSI. They are not; merely areas of man laid grassland that due to lack of proper maintenance have been allowed to become self seeded with plants from outside the Gardens.

CCBC were quick enough to grab control of HV from the Town Council when the Lottery Funding was made available, what a shame they can't or won't live up to their responsibility now that it's finished.   $angry$

Well, I am sure that CCBC still have plenty of other projects that they can b****r up.  Just hope they don't keep us waiting to long before they unveil the next catastrophe!

Just need to bear in mind that many of the projects are decided and managed by Officers of the Council, and not necessarily by the Council Members!  The "jobs for life brigade" with the "cast iron pensions".   Maybe a few changes in the ranks would help to start getting the ship on the correct course!

How about our Town Council shows some ambition and asks for Happy Valley back?

How did they manage before CCBC took it over?

Dont know if this is the right place to post this & I remember seeing this issue mentioned a number of months ago & not sorted. -  :rage:
BUT ---- Why have the trees not been cut down yet on the sea front side of the Happy valley gardens, so that the LLANDUDNO sign at the bottom of the Happy valley gardens can be seen CLEARLY from the pier. This should have been done a long time ago!!!!
 
BTW. These trees are overhanging the pathway - hse issue???? - this may push ccbc to address this issue therefore sorting it quickly. (or maybe not!!)

Even though the original idea of the LLANDUDNO sign was that it should be filled with flowers, it still looks quite good painted white. -  - - - As long as it can be seen CLEARLY from the pier.

Surely this should be done before the first boat (ship) docks at the end of the pier. - - Then all the Liverpudlians know where they are visiting.  _))*

Yes, it's an obvious issue that needs tackling. The trees need cutting down and the LLANDUDNO letters need painting white. I could try logging it via FixMyStreet and see what happens, I suppose?

I have logged the issue from my previous post a few days ago with 'fix my street'

Its an issue which should have been sorted a few years ago.
I wont hold my breath though, that it will be sorted knowing how councils work.  ;D
