How about we scrap the Town Council in Llandudno and just have an elected Mayor, perhaps serving a 3 year term. The position attracts a decent salary in order to attract applications from people with some business sense. At an election, each candidate puts forward a specific agenda of actions that he/she intends to take and are judged upon their progress at the next election.
As far as their powers go, they have direct control over those depts that impact upon the look of the towns, i.e street cleaning & litter collection, public area maintenance, street lighting, parks & gardens, public events. They could also either control or have a strong input into other areas. i.e. economic development, planning etc. Depts such as Education, Social Services etc can still be handled at either County or even Regional level.
At present, the Town Council in Llandudno seems to suffer from a paucity of ambition, they do a 'little bit' here and there and think that is good enough. They would be more suited to running the affairs of a small village rather than the largest seaside resort in Wales.
