Lets be negative then - Llandudno has no future because the councils support the nimbys, & can/will not make logical decisions on their own.
Actually, the Councils supported the idea of the park. It was the UK appointed planning inspectorate that turned it down.
As I said earlier, the key site is the old pavilion.
I wonder why none of us had identified that before?
The council needs to be firm with proposals for the site & force the current owner to sell if it is not developed within a reasonable time scale.
D’you know we’d never realised it was that easy.
Nothing offensive or ageist intended, but for anyone who has an ageist chip on their shoulder I apologise,
“An Ageist chip”. So anyone who notes that the resort is heavily dependent on - say, retired folk and considers stereotypical images of them, sitting “lounging around in their hotels for the day” just might possibly be considered offensive does so because they have ‘an ageist chip’ on their shoulder? It couldn’t possibly be something else, could it? Say, awareness that this is an open forum, that many retired folk looking to come here and spend their money in the town could well visit this forum to see what the locals are saying about the visitors or - to put it more plainly - dislikes people foisting their derogatory and undesirable opinions on the rest of us?
It may sound subjective, but I am just going off personal observations made on rainy days
Really? Must have incredible eyesight if you can see so many retired people “lounging around in their hotels for the day.” Surely you can’t be drawing that conclusion based purely on the numbers of folk in coffee bars when it’s raining, can you?
Llandudno may or may not have slightly less rainfall than most uk places. But it still rains quite often.
As with the rest of your largely uninformed ‘observations’, let me give you the facts: Llandudno receives some of the lowest rainfall in the UK, along with the East of the UK, parts of Scotland and the Cheshire Plain. It does, however, receive the second highest number of sunshine hours annually (can’t do that if it’s raining all the time) and enjoys a climate lacking in extremes of temperature
(source: met office.gov.uk). The weather in North Wales is heavily influenced by the proximity of Snowdonia, the very proximity that ensures a relatively kind climate. Rainfall - at its lowest here - increases substantially just 10 miles down the Conwy Valley.
Let me add one more thing: this forum is to debate everything about Llandudno including the major eyesore which is the PP site. It is not, however, a place where generalisations which can be seen as offensive to any sector of the population will be allowed.
