This could have been a disaster..............

A six-tonne dumper truck filled with soil rolled down a hill before crashing into a garden wall in Llandudno. St Margarets Drive, off Nant-y-Gamar Road, was partially blocked on Thursday evening after the unmanned truck rolled down a hill and hit the local resident's wall.

The garden wall was left damaged following the incident, with the area around the truck coned off last night. The vehicle was carrying soil at the time of the incident.

Following the incident, police and operatives of the vehicle attended the scene but were unable to move the truck, which is believed to have suffered a fault with the hydraulic system.        ref DP

« Reply #1914 on: September 08, 2022, 12:58:18 pm »
The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace has said.

"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision," a statement said.

"The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral."

Prince Charles is now with her and the Duke of Cambridge is on his way.

The Duchess of Cornwall has also travelled to Balmoral.

The announcement comes after the Queen, 96, pulled out of a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday, with doctors advising her to rest.

Two car collision on the A470 opposite the Erw Glas campsite. No serious injuries, so should be cleared shortly.

Robin Millar MP has just announced The Hilton Garden Inn at Adventure Parc Snowdonia in Dolgarrog is providing emergency accommodation to asylum seekers whilst their applications are being processed. Rumour has it they are 200 Albanian young men & no women or children. Staff at the hotel have all lost their jobs.

I can see them making their way to the larger coastal towns and it's unlikely that they'll go there just to see the seaside

Apparently, the bridge over to the new railway station is closed, Hugo, so it only leaves the number 19 bus to travel up to the coast.
