A POPULAR pizza, pasta and grill eatery will remain in Llandudno.

Mostyn Estates have received confirmation from Tasty PLC, the firm behind the Wildwood chain, that their Llandudno restaurant will remain open.

The Italian restaurant arrived in Llandudno, on Mostyn Street, in October 2016.

In further good news, it appears the Body Shop at the Victoria Centre will also continue trading.

A spokesperson from Mostyn Estates Ltd told the Pioneer: "Mostyn Estates have received confirmation from Tasty PLC that their Llandudno restaurant, Wildwood, will remain open and continue to be a vibrant presence in the town.

Three Towns Policing Issues / Re: North Wales Community Alert

« Last post by SteveH on Yesterday at 09:59:09 am »

Do you own property that you love?
Do you want to protect it or increase the chances of it being returned to you if it is stolen and recovered, or sold to a second hand retailer?

Every year property is stolen by criminals but often the owners are unable to identify  or recall what the make / model is etc.  What's worse is recovering property that we know is stolen but having to return it to thieves as we can't prove who owns it.

We have joined forces with ?immobilise? a national property database where you can log your items for free.

Why not have a family ?immobilise day? where you can put one person in charge of logging the items when other family members can bring their items for listing? Perfect for those wet and windy weekends!

What's more, for items such as jewellery / bikes and tools you can take pictures as well and upload them.  Making sure you take pictures of any distinctive marks they may have, that scrape on the handlebars when you fell off etc!

Police forces and second hand retailers across the UK have access to this database to check property that they come across (I literally checked a phone this afternoon and found a marker on it!)

So if you love it log it! Oh and you can also record property you may have had stolen if you perhaps still have the packaging for it with the serial number on it.

Check out the website and watch the video for a better explanation of how it works;

Hi Hugo,
We had problems with BT emails last week. Told us we had been compromised, Reset our password and and it has been ok since.

Gets to be a hassle having so many passwords.

More goat warning signs needed, say residents

As well as the A470 perhaps they need them in the Abbey Road/ Church Walks area too.

I cut the grass on my back  garden for the first time today and found that there were a lot of Cowslips growing in the grass.   I didn't have the heart to mow them as they looked so nice and although the mowing took me longer it was worth it to see them there
The Obelisk and Bryn Euryn are normally covered in thousands of Cowslips at this time of year so I'll have to make the effort and go there asap

Before we got our dog Teddy I used to leave peanuts out for the Badgers and I'd put them inside a heavy cast iron Frog that was in two sections, top & bottom.      I did that idea again last night and this morning the Frog was in two sections but I don't know whether it was the Badger this time or a determined Squirrel but no more damage has been done to the lawn thank goodness

By my own admission I am pretty useless on computers and can only do basic stuff like e-mails etc.     Last night I did a few e-mails and then closed the application
Something happened and I had to go back into the e-mails again but instead of my normal inbox this appeared ( see photo )  now I can't send or receive e-mails and want my old system back
Has anyone else had this problem where the computer has imposed the new system on them and how do you get around it?

I have to use an engineer to sort out problems for me so I might phone him anyway but wondered if it's just me or is it part of updating the e-mailing system?

That Chapel has been on the market before.    It's a lovely conversion but in the wrong place and as for the comment about overlooking the Little Orme that's a bit of an exaggeration.
That view will disappear completely if Mostyn Estates get their greedy mitts on a planning application and as Mull quite rightly said they have been trying that out for years.
It's prudent for me not to say too much but I believe that they will be trying again for planning permission once Anwyl Construction have finished on their site in Nant Y Gamar Road

You can not buy a view.

How long before the Mostyn's decide to build on the fields opposite ? They have been trying  for years.

Local News & Discussion / Re: What's Llandudno Like Right Now?....2024 Tour of Britain Women

« Last post by SteveH on April 18, 2024, 09:55:33 am »

THE hosts of the 2024 Tour of Britain Women stages have today been announced, with Llandudno to play a key role in the event.

Preparations are being made for the inaugural edition of the race ahead of the Grand D?part in Welshpool on Thursday, 6 June.

The race will see the world?s top female riders and teams go head-to-head across four tough stages of racing, in what will be the first major international stage race delivered by British Cycling Events.

Hundreds of thousands of fans will line the streets for what is the nation?s biggest free-to-attend sporting event, as the country gears up for another thrilling summer of cycling.

The race will begin in Welshpool, which hosted the thrilling finish of stage four of the 2022 Women?s Tour, where Australia?s Grace Brown (FDJ Nouvelle Aquitaine Futuroscope) sprinted to victory.

The stage will see riders head north to the picturesque seaside town of Llandudno, in what will be a challenging start to the race.

Stage two will see riders stay in Wales for a start and finish in Wrexham, which also featured in the 2022 Women?s Tour.

The rolling route will take in a series of challenging climbs in the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Wales.

The organisers extended their gratitude to Welsh Government, Conwy County Borough Council, Powys County Council, Wrexham County Borough Council and others who have demonstrated such enthusiastic support for the race.

Jon Dutton OBE, CEO of British Cycling, said: ?Today is another important milestone in our journey and reflective of the enormous goodwill and support which major road cycling events continue to enjoy.

?Our primary focus has been to deliver a safe and competitive race in 2024, and while there is still a great deal of work to do, we remain every bit as determined to harness the race?s spotlight to make a real impact in the communities which it touches.

?We know that it is a vision which resonates strongly in the positive conversations we?ve been having with prospective commercial partners and hosts which continues to be extremely encouraging.?

Cllr Aaron Wynne, Conwy?s Cabinet Member for Culture & Leisure, said: "We?re delighted to be welcoming the 2024 Tour of Britain Women.

?I hope the event inspires young people to get on their bikes, and I?ll be urging the people of Conwy county to support the competitors at the Stage One finish in Llandudno.

?The crowd create a fantastic atmosphere at events like this and it?s a great opportunity for us to showcase North Wales as a destination.

?Major events are important in extending the tourism season, creating an economic impact, supporting small businesses, and of course the media coverage to the rest of the world.?

Earlier this month, British Cycling announced that the Tour of Britain Men would be delivered over six days in 2024, with an ambition to bring future parity to the two national tours, following the alignment of the event names in 2024.
