Can anyone tell me if anything has happened to improve the site of the Pier Pavilion which burned down in a fire ages ago?

Take a look on the thread... local eyesores,   and that will tell you that sadly, NOTHING has happened in the last 20 years apart from it looking worse than ever!
Certain mayors and politicians have talked a good game about getting things moving as a priority.
But of course they achieve precisely nothing.

Thanks, Fester,

I suspected as much but had hoped that the council had been shamed into taking action to improve things. It is difficult to see how any reasonable council of a town which has tourism as a key source of income would allow this to continue for so long. I think there needs to be a local action group to campaign vigorously and expose the failure to act. 20 years is inexcusable.

In respect of most basic functions the Town council have no bearing on them, they are purely ceremonial, (despite costing us all money).
The County Council who have real responsibility, struggle with even the most basic levels of service on the things they are responsible for.
Any project concerning something as large as the Pier Pavilion site is completely outside the scope and competency levels of those we pay so handsomely to manage such a thing.

Probably bits of the render falling off again. Hopefully, we will see some basic repairs to the fabric of the building at least this year.

The plans which were expected to be on the Planning Dept desk several weeks ago, have still not been lodged.

Llandudno's Broadway Boulevard will open by end of year


Llandudno's Broadway Boulevard will be back open by Christmas with plans for a cash generating music venue to help fund the future regeneration of the Grand Theatre.

Simon Moppett from MBI Consulting - which bought the site for £140,000 in March - took the Daily Post on a tour of the site.
He said they could not continue to let the historic venue lie empty and continue to deteriorate.
Work is now underway to clear up the site with decades worth of waste piled up in the Grand Theatre while water pumping has started in the basement.
They have also removed pigeons from the building and are now set to make the roof watertight to prevent more damage.
“We have not bought the site just to sit on it and allow it to deteriorate further, that is not what we do.

“There will be hybrid of uses, there will be live music and we will also be getting the community in here.

“There will be a mix of things, some that will help us start to bring money in and other uses that will help the community that we can build up over time.

“The longer the building is empty the worse it will become, we need people in here and for the building to be functioning.
