For Hugo

Mum spent a lot of her younger life in the town with her aunt before I was born and after when we came to holiday there.  She stated when she did her will, for me to ensure that a small donation is made to both the donkeys, punch and judy man (I am in contact with him) and also Llandudno lifeboat specifically (I am speaking to them directly as well) so you can see her love for the town over all her years never faded.  I am merely trying to carry out her wishes as her executor and am grateful for all support anyone can assist me with as I dont do facebook or social media.

I am a him!!

THE FAMOUS Llandudno Pier came narrowly close to being named the best pier in the UK.

The pier came second in the annual UK Pier of the Year awards, which was won by Cromer Pier with Swannage Pier coming in third.

The awards are run by the National Piers Society, whose chairman Tim Wardley said of the winners: "I was delighted to discover Cromer are once again very worthy winners, with the wonderful piers of Llandudno and Swanage running a very close second and third.

"Our members are certainly a knowledgeable group of people which makes the award so special each year, voted for by the largest membership of pier experts and enthusiasts in the world."

Direct Llandudno to Liverpool trains back on table but cuts also proposed
While this news was welcomed there are cuts proposed for services in Gwynedd

They have now published a list of proposals (full list below) and there is good and bad news for North Wales. The biggest potential upgrade is the extension of the direct Liverpool to Chester service to Llandudno.

A Llandudno seafront hotel has had its price cut in a bid to secure a sale. The Trevone Hotel forms part of the iconic terrace of hotels overlooking Llandudno Bay on the front.

It went up for sale back in April 2022 with a guide price of ?995,000 but that figure was later reduced to ?895,000. It has now had another reduction in its price and is on the market with Christie and Co for ?750,000.

The agent described the 24 bed hotel as "ideal for a lifestyle buyer" with scope to increase the bar and food operation at the site.

They are a nuisance Meleri and I'm pleased that we didn't fall for the scam.      Mrs H arrived back from shopping in our old banger so that was a relief too.

I had a similar call this week Hugo & mentioned it under the Topic The Fraud Epidemic on the Forum. I was a bit concerned as it was a local number & I couldn't find any other comment when Googling the number. I had another call this morning from 07826200264 with the same message so obviously a scam.
