Everything to do with Llandudno Junction

[SteveH]

If you are using the Llandudno Junction car wash on Conwy Road, please be advised that you must NOT stop on the pavement in your vehicle or block the road.

This is dangerous and could cause an accident.

West Conwy Neighbourhood policing team will be in the area in the coming days/weeks ensuring the traffic is flowing. If you are found to be causing an obstruction you may face a fine.

We do not want to ticket car wash customers although, we have received a number of reports within the past week to complain about this issue.

Keep the roads safe, be sensible when an area is busy & keep the traffic flowing at all times to prevent an accident from happening.

The site of a former Llandudno Junction school could be transformed into a purpose-built medical centre, a councillor believes.

Ysgol Nant y Coed went up in flames in November 2019 after an arson attack, and the school was subsequently demolished.

But now Cllr Mike Priestley has claimed talks on a medical centre are ongoing between Conwy County Council, who own the site, and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

Ysgol Nant y Coed was one of two Llandudno Junction schools that closed when the new purpose-built Ysgol Awel y Mynydd opened in September 2017.

Cllr Mike Priestley says Llandudno Junction has suffered due to a strain on health care services, caused by the number of new homes built in the area in recent years.

Cllr Priestley said: “Conversations are going on. I’ve spoken to Betsi Cadwaladr, and they’ve said they are looking at a number of sites, one of which is the Ysgol Nant y Coed site, and I just want to put all my support behind the facility there to support the community.

“While we have the opportunity, we can provide something that will be a real benefit to our community. We’ve given so much green fields and so much space for new houses, I think it is about time we had a brownfield site for the community.

Cineworld announces cinemas at risk of closure including two in North Wales
Cineworld's sites in Llandudno Junction and Broughton Retail Park are at risk of closure

Cineworld has announced a list of more than 100 cinemas that are at risk of closure, including two in North Wales. The cinema chain announced financial struggles last year when they were forced to file for bankruptcy in the US.

Among the sites which could face closure are Llandudno Junction and Broughton - two of North Wales' most popular cinema complexes. The company said it had been under pressure due to the pandemic, and fell into administration last autumn.

Months on from announcing it was "assessing options to shore up its finances," Cineworld has given an update which puts 129 of its sites across the UK and Ireland at risk. Yesterday, the cinema giant said they had been approached by a ?number? of potential suitors interested in a takeover,

A COLWYN Bay coffee shop chain will be opening a store at Llandudno Junction train station.

Porter?s Coffee Shop, which already has sites at Eirias Park and Station Road in Colwyn Bay, are set to open ?more than just a caf?? at Llandudno Junction train station.

As well as being a stop on the North Wales line, the station is an important changeover stop for passengers travelling to Llandudno, so sees a lot of footfall.

Thousands of tonnes of rubble dug up to help make Conwy Tunnel had to go somewhere. The ingenious solution was to use the debris to reclaim land alongside the Afon Conwy River and form a wetland wonderland for wildlife.

The RSPB Conwy site in Llandudno Junction, which opened to the public in April 1995, is now home to a wife variety of species – currently being graced by great crested grebe and tufted duck – which attract about 80,000 visitors a year. Its 30th anniversary next year will be a cause for genuine celebration over the success of the helping hand it has given to natural world. But how was it turned from a muddy moonscape into the haven we see today?.................
