Talk about CCBC hypocrisy!

"Four reasons council officers don't want these giant wind turbines off coast of Llandudno ... the proposal would result in a detriment to the setting of heritage assets in Conwy, including (but not limited to) Llandudno Conservation Area and Llandudno Pier".

But yet a huge concrete block of flats right at the entrance to the pier is still okay?

The Ferris Wheel is being dismantled as I write this post. I hope it comes back next season with the previso that it is located just a little further down the pier. We put up with the spotlights and flashing lights shinning in our windows because of the situation with regards to the pavilion plannind debarcal but I don't know if I will be so obliging next year if its put back in the same location

I sympathise, BlongB.

Do you ever suffer at all from odours of candy floss or fish n’ chips?

THE Ferris wheel on Llandudno Pier will be taken down to become a "billboard" for the town at a popular Christmas market in Yorkshire.

The £1million wheel, which has been custom-made, was assembled in late August and proved a hit with residents, attracting thousands of people to the North Shore towards the end of the summer tourist season.

Good to see the Llandudno Pier big wheel now fully complete in Sheffield with the full front platform in place.

Llandudno Pier's popular Ferris wheel is set to make a comeback in the coming weeks.

Dubbed 'The Llandudno Eye', the 69-foot tall structure will return to its home with visitors expected to be able to start riding on it soon.

The Ferris wheel saw its final night of the season during the spectacular fireworks display on North Shore on Sunday, November 5 before heading off to Sheffield's Christmas market until earlier this year where it was then returned to North Wales to be stored

The popular landmark, which made its first appearance in August 2021, was highly spoken about right across the country, attracting thousands to the town within its first week.

The custom-built ride will be set up at Llandudno Pier and will be located within the same position as last year, next to the amusement arcades.

The million-pound investment, which was purchased to help the pier sustain itself for years to come, seats 108 people in 18 Gondolas.

Don’t take my word for it, Ian, take a walk down it and count the number of cones.

Lift up one of the cones and what you see will surprise you.

Having been on the deck crew in the 70s  doing all the  maintenance over 5 months in the winter time to keep it up to a great standard, the times I’ve walked along lately if he doesn’t start soon it will be too bad to fix , the pylons are sound but I it is the decking .

Very sad to hear that.  It does not sound good.
Hope it gets fixed before the season gets going .

I wish that second entrance was reopened if only as a fire exit
