Llandudno Christmas Illuminations

[Merddin Emrys]

They are just trying to keep Wrex happy!    VV

Why put them on in normal working hours when CCBC charge the town council double time,it seems CCBC have put up all Llandudno;s lights this year( all 6 lights on the lamposts) so they (the town council) must have got rid of the firm that put up the lights on the Carlton roundabout and on the town hall ,saving themselves a few quid in the process,im sure they are chuffed with the savings to the taxpayers of Llandudno,as for those of us who would like to see improvements and pride in Llandudno,tougth,go live somewhere else we are the elected and we will tell you if the people of this town deserve lights or not.

That firm used to rent the xmas decorations to the Town Council, they weren't cheap either!

[wrex]

Sorry i have got it wrong,it is still a private firm putting up the lights and they have not finished putting them up,so we have to wait for the big switch on next month.With less than a month to go to xmas most people have done their xmas shopping,so is it to late or are people happy that Llandudno is the last shopping center in Britain too switch on?. :rage:

[wrex]

Will somebody tell me what they think of the xmas tree outside the Esplanade hotel,is it me or do they really think its the bees nees,i do wonder who is running that place.Has the owner never been into Homebase and seen what you can buy for exterior trees.

[DaveR]

Xmas tree outside Clarence is lit up, as is Carlton roundabout and the blue icicle lights on Bog Island toilets. Bog island Xmas tree wasn't on though.

[wrex]

It baffles me ,why did the Esplanade bother buying a xmas tree then put two small strings of lights on it,one coloured and one white

Maybe we should have campaigned for the Coca-cola Christmas Truck to visit Llandudno (or would the Council object???)

That truck rolled into the car park of Morrisons Supermarket in Bradford one year when I was there.

I was taken aback, it is an awesome sight.  What a great job to drive that thing!  VV ^^^^

[snowcap]

your right fester it is an awesome sight, i was lucky enough to see it in Liverpool last Xmas, they were giving out free samples of cola

[wrex]

Frreebies,now that is music to the councillors ears,they LOVE freebies,i never thought of useing frreebies as a incentive to get the council to put some decent lights up,i have 10 months to work on it.

[Nemesis]

What are you going to offer as freebies Wrex?
I see that the kids are getting sweeties on Saturday from the daffodil folk !!

[wrex]

With the success of the Daffodil people maybe we can get them to help with xmas lights,not qute the same bulbs but how can we all go mad over this but just IGNORE Christmas,

[Fester]

Gloddaeth St looked very festive tonight, the lights strung along the street were plentiful. and the tree outside the Clarence was beautifully lit.

However, other than that little area, one has to agree with Wrex, Llandudno's Xmas lights are in general very poor indeed.

Is this a new version of " A dog is for life, not just for Christmas"--- Think about it.
