Conwy council conducts official investigation over 'inaccurate' Llandudno library figures
Cabinet to vote on Tuesday

Conwy is conducting an official investigation after “£126K savings” presented to back the closure of Llandudno ’s Mostyn Street library were labelled inaccurate. At a special meeting on Wednesday, Conwy ’s head of finance claimed closing Llandudno’s library and moving the service to Venue Cymru would save £126K a year.

Head of finance Ms Amanda Hughes had claimed Conwy was paying around £46,000 a year in electricity bills to Npower at the current site – a sum referenced as a future saving if the move went ahead. But this was before Cllr Louise Emery produced a letterheaded bill at the Coed Pella scrutiny committee.

What on earth made the CCBC  come up with the idea of moving the Library to the Venue Cymru in the first place?    It's bonkers

'Missing' business case for Llandudno library move must be released
Earlier this month Conwy’s cabinet backed the plans, despite concerns a business plan, requested by an earlier scrutiny committee never materialised.

At the special economy and place overview and scrutiny committee on July 2, Cllr Chris Hughes proposed councillors backed the plan for the library move, and this was seconded by Cllr Dave Jones before it was voted through.

I take it that our Councillors actually took a vote on something that they didn't have the full facts?       Why didn't they just defer the vote until the full facts were known and they could make a proper decision?
I've often called the Councillors a bunch of nodding donkeys because when one Councillor propose something all the others just nod in agreement.     I've realised that my remark could be taken as offensive so I must apologise  to my four legged Donkey friends if they have taken umbrage at my remark

That just shows you how bad CCBC has gone.  It’s a disgrace that most of them councillors are sat at home behind a laptop.    We know very well why they want the library & tourist information moved to the venue. And that is to make the losses look better.   You watch Mike priestly will get the cabinet post for ERF.  😡
