This closure of Marine Drive is for the opening stage of the 2011 Wales Rally GB, the final round of the World Rally and is being hosted by Llandudno. This is a prestigious event and the entourage with each competitor will give a boost to the hotels and businesses during a normally quiet time. They will all have to stay somewhere, eat somewhere, and buy supplies of fuel. A welcome incursion and not to be sniffed at despite a little inconvenience to dog walkers who have no need to use Marine Drive. There are plenty of other roads and paths that are probably more suited to doggie activities! L0L
There are also plenty of car enthusiasts who will flood the town apart from those of us who live here and do like to have our interests represented occasionally. WWW
