Well done, let's hope we see some action from CCBC.

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

Council workers started to clear the bank earlier in the year, to make the sign more visible but were moved on to other work before it could be completed.

It involves far too much risk for the Friends of the Happy Valley to try and accomplish with the resources they have at their disposal.

The idea of the White Lettering on the Llandudno Sign was to cut down the time consuming task of putting in bedding plants at the start of each tourist season.
The idea was to put in a white support base for trays of flower displays which were to be installed and changed as required.

Now like most of our other flowerbeds and gardens it is totally ignored and doesn't get planted at all.
The best bit is the Council still has the gall to enter the Town in the Britain in Bloom completion each year.

I've noticed myself that less and less time seems to be devoted to Happy Valley by the gardeners every year. I could also make a comment about certain staff finishing early and sitting in their van reading the paper when they are supposed to be working....  &shake&

All credit to the 'Daffodil Planters' . The display is beautiful.

My OH and myself had to shout at two young children who were blissfully running straight through the flower beds, you show in your photographs Nemesis, whilst the Grandparents who were supposed to be looking after them, were completely oblivious to what their Grandchildren were doing. It took an awful lot of effort to put those bulbs in. (now if we could only keep the week-end marauders out of Happy Valley..............) $smack$

Not sure how much this group has to do with the upkeep but it has been left to ruin.

Last August/September I was surprised to see sheep grazing on the main grassy area. Now 'natural lawnmowers' are all fine and well but they do tend to leave a lot of little offerings in return for the grass. Shame they never went near the (by then) badly overgrown Llandudno sign that had all but disappeared in the undergrowth.

I'm told that, last month, CCBC have withdrawn the gardener from both Happy Valley and Haulfre Gardens and he will not be replaced? Is this really true?  &shake&

Did they have one specific gardener?
When I see any work being effected in Happy Valley, it is usually a CCBC van load of guys, with lots of flasks and newspapers!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but we had a walk through Happy Valley today, the water feature is working and looking very nice.
