I do hope that this isn't going to be left visible when the Remembrance service takes place. I might be stuffy, but I think that this should at least be covered over out of respect.

They are particularly interested in anyone with dashcam footage, who was in and around the area at the time of the robbery.

The family event will run for four days and will host hundreds of stalls, fairground rides and activities

Christmas markets in North Wales are coming back in a big way this year after Covid-19 restrictions forced many events to cancel back in 2020.

And one of the biggest ones on the North Wales social calendar is the Llandudno Christmas Extravaganza.

The showpiece is billed a free to attend Christmas family event with entertainment, gift stalls, food and drink vendors as well as fairground rides for the kids.

Thousands are expected to attend the four day event with a host of attractions planned by organisers.

The Met Office have forecast temperatures of up to 14C and as low as 9C with some light showers towards the weekend - but the rains isn't set to come until later on in the evenings.

With that in mind, here's everything you need to know about the 2021 Llandudno Christmas Extravaganza.

LLANDUDNO'S Christmas Parade will return to the town next month.                 ref Pioneer

The parade will travel from Llandudno Train Station on Saturday, December 4 at 4pm.

The parade usually goes from the railway station, up Vaughan Street, to Mostyn Street, into Lloyd Street, down Madoc Street, Augusta Street and back to the station.


THE Wales Spring Fair returns to Llandudno in January with the hope of boosting the retail industry after a tough 18 months.
Celebrating its 42nd year, the regional show for traders across North Wales and North West England to display tens of thousands of products takes place over three days from January 23-25 at Venue Cymru.

With over 500 tourist attractions and gift shops within a 30-mile radius of Llandudno, the show provides the opportunity for buyers and owners of tourist attractions, independent and multiple retailers, hotels, galleries and garden centres to stock up on the latest items.

Yesterday we received email correspondence from McCarthy Stone regarding their plans to redevelop Maelgwyn Road Car Park.  For the second time this year, McCarthy Stone are carrying out a Pre-Application Consultation, and intend to submit a formal planning application following the consultation.  We understand that McCarthy Stone will be writing to residents living near the car park over the coming days.

There do not appear to be any significant changes following their previous consultation, carried out earlier this year.  They still intend to build 55 flats on the car park, but provide only 21 car parking spaces, for private residents only.  This leaves 34 flats without car parking space.  The development will also remove the 126 public car parking spaces that the car park currently provides.  That means we could lose 160 car parking spaces near the town centre - and we all know how hard it is to find parking in Llandudno.  The scale of the building will also dwarf other buildings in the immediate vicinity.  It simply isn't right in that location.

We would encourage everyone who is concerned about this development to click here to view McCarthy Stone's proposals and to participate in the consultation.  When submitting a formal planning application McCarthy Stone will have to list the issues raised in the Pre-Application Consultation and explain what steps they are taking to mitigate them.  Even though Conwy County Borough Council's Environment, Roads and Facilities Service are taking steps to safeguard the car park from development, it is still important that you provide your feedback.

VIEW & COMMENT ON THE PLANS  https://mccarthystoneconsultation.co.uk/llandudno/virtual-exhibition/

You can respond to the consultation through McCarthy Stone's website, by emailing    feedback@mccarthystoneconsultation.co.uk     or writing to McCarthy Stone Llandudno Consultation, BECG, Dalton Place, 29 John Dalton Street, Manchester, M2 6FW.  The consultation is open until 22nd December.

Please feel free to email us a copy of your comments at llandudnogogarth@gmail.com.

A SOCIAL enterprise in Llandudno is helping keep children in Conwy warm this Christmas through its latest campaign.

Having seen some turn up to the primary school she used to work at without coats during the winter, Ally has been helping distribute coats donated by residents to schools, charities and more across the region.

“We just thought, well, we’re sat here with no proms on or anything, so we did a campaign and started collecting the coats. We’ve had about 100 donated to us so far.

“People donate them to our shops, and we’ve been in touch with all of the local schools, charities, and food banks; we’ve got a referral form, so if anyone needs help with a coat, they just have to fill in that form and then we can get them one.

“The form just asks what size and age children they have, things like that.”

People can get in touch by either donating coats at Prom Ally’s base at 23 Madoc Street, Llandudno (open 10am – 4pm from Tuesday to Saturday), or by emailing: coats4kidsconwy@gmail.com.

Alternatively, for those unable to visit Prom Ally’s shop during its opening hours, Ally added that the Wilko store in Mostyn Champneys Retail Park has also said it will happily accept coat donations (open 9am – 6pm every day apart from Sunday: 10am – 4pm).

Developer urged to withdraw 55 homes plan on Llandudno parking site for cars and campervans
McCarthy Stone want to erect apartments for the over 60s on the Maelgwyn Road car park
An interesting comment from the Senedd member was that she urged the developer to instead reach a deal with Anwyl Homes for the former Gogarth Abbey Hotel site at West Shore, which has been empty for over a decade.  ( it's actually nearer two decades )
