I drove down Mostyn Broadway in Llandudno today to go to Mostyn Champneys retail park and the traffic was extremely busy and it was bad for car drivers and pedestrians alike.
It made me think about that section of the road being mentioned some years ago by Wrex.     Quite often we don't give credit when credit is due and Wrex was concerned for the safety of pedestrians on Mostyn Broadway ( by the B & Q Store ) and suggested traffic lights at that spot but the Council didn't adopt that idea for a number of years.
Thank goodness they eventually did install them because that area is much safer for pedestrians now, so well done Wrex for having the foresight to see the dangers there                &well&

It looks like some Welsh holidaymakers have jumped the gun and moved a day early. It will be an easy story for the Daily Post as they can see it from their window. Also it is a 20 second drive from Headquarters for the Police to have a word!

I wonder how far those travellers have driven to get to Prestatyn, but they always seem to be above the law anyway

Good on your friends Norman, those people have no right to be here with these restrictions in force.      Likewise the people in Wales have no right to go to England unless there is a valid reason for doing so.
I just wish that everyone  would obey the rules and then perhaps the virus will go away quicker.


just a thought but the Broughton retail park in Wales is about 400 yards from the English border and now that England is in lockdown I wonder if any of them will break the rules and come over to Wales?           &shake&

When A55 'Black Cat' roundabout project set to be completed after months of roadworks
The pinch point scheme has seen months of work at the A470 junction near Glan Conwy and Llandudno Junction

Highways improvement works on the 'Black Cat' roundabout at Glan Conwy have been finished off - with the contractor now turning attention to the final activity of streetlighting replacement.

This must be the reason for the closure of the road, it's so tragic

Sad news.......... TRIBUTES have been paid to a 58-year-old woman who died following a crash between a pedestrian and a car near I'm A Celebrity's Gwrych Castle.

Sharn Iona Hughes, of Prestatyn, described as a devoted wife to Elfyn Hughes and loving mother to Arron and Annah Hughes, died whilst attempting to see the lights at Gwrych Castle.   ref  Pioneer

The latest idea to stop 'incredibly dangerous' Snowdonia parking chaos
Double yellow lines could be introduced near Llyn Padarn in Llanberis

Scenes of cars parked on either side of the road have become familiar sights over the past few years, particularly during the summer months.

I came from Conwy on the A55 just about half an hour ago and on the westbound lane just before the Black Cat roundabout there appeared to be an accident involving a number of cars.
Traffic was moving slowly in the overtaking lane but there was a horrendous tailback in both lanes as far as the West End of Colwyn Bay
