West Shore Issues

[wrex]

Do we know when the big project of moving the statue is to take place now the pool is empty.

[Nemesis]

The pool is rapidly filling up now, so I shouldn't count on the statue moving in the near future!
Swans are happy !

On a positive note, the improvements to the kids playground at West Shore are really excellent.

Some novel attractions have been included, and its all been resurfaced in that safety rubber stuff that looks like tarmac.

The safety railing that surround it have been upgraded too.   

I just wish there were more attractions at West Shore.

Very impressed by the state of it this morning-- lovely to see the beach steps revealed again.

The Contractors do seem to have made a better job of the sand clearance this time and hopefully now they are dumping the sand below the high water mark the sand problems may improve to what they were this Winter.
Those steps do look nice Nemesis but they would be even better if the other 3 or 4 were showing too.

Tried to cycle along the cycle path from West Shore tonight, absolutely impossible  :rage: 
Sand is so deep that its very difficult to even walk and push a bike through!!

The Welsh assembly needs to know that its cyclepath has failed big style along the West shore,Llandudno.JFS needs to back the improvement of the black rocks section of the path

Its a path along a beach. They will ALWAYS be sand on it.

I completely agree, but therefore why waste money building the path in the first place and periodically clearing it?
Surely it should either have been done properly at the outset or not at all!

[DaveR]

Thing is, I don't see how you can keep it clear of sand. They've built various fences/sandbreaks but its pretty much impossible to keep the sand at bay. Having said that, it's only a problem for a short section of the path...could the cyclists not possibly dismount and walk that short distance? I walk along that path on a regular basis and I don't mind walking through the sand.

Dave you don;t get the concept of cycling lol

Again I agree yes you can get off and walk but call me pedantic but doesn't that make it a footpath?  Surely you should be able to cycle down a 'cycle-path'?

It's also very rocky in places. I gave up using it after my third puncture.

[Hugo]

That path is hard enough to walk on at times, let alone cycle on.  If I had a bike I wouldn't ride on that path anyway.

I drove along the West Shore this afternoon,what a mess the place looks,the grass does not look as if it has been cut this year.
