She is entitled to object like any other rate payer ,as for the Pentwyn  development I don't recall any objections to the previous development on the High Pastures site , objecting to the present development was going to fail from the start . I attended the public enquiry and that confirmed what I suspected was going to happen

Perhaps the point Norm makes is that "any other ratepayer" would not be writing as an MS - or AM in old money.

Robbie G they did protest at the development Opps high pastures, but I didn't see Janet there now all that area is getting built on won't be long it will be all down the hill.  Being born here I like many others don't want housing on bodafon But the robbing Mostyn est will get their way.

[Robbie G]

 I don't want housing down to the bottom of Tyn y Coed hill neither but as you say it`s going to happen like it or not , but the authorities have all the power they need to delay or even stop these developments , but they seem to have a mind set to encourage them . as for J.F.S. I am no fan of hers but at least there is some effort to oppose the plans even if one suspects it might be for personal reasons ,as for Mostyn Estates until the political system is reformed things are not going to change it would entail a monumental change to our constitution for that to happen , the U. K . without the House of Lords we can dream

We are all NIMBY's when it comes down to it and it pays to think ahead when you buy a property as to what could change. That said I can think of quite a few places where properties have been knocked down and replaced with blocks of flats and what you thought was a secure view has now vanished.
I actually think that the field in question off Nant-y-Gamar Rd has little merit as agricultural land really but the access for building is a disaster. As for the rest of Bodafon Fields they are a unique asset that could be developed for tourism. Without it where would the various festivals have stood? It could be developed as a show ground, have electric points put in and some hard standings. Ideal spot for park and ride etc etc. That's why in my mind it shouldn't be developed for housing.

[Robbie G]

I agree with you Dave the fields are a wonderful asset to Llandudno and the surrounding area but , development seems to be the way forward to CCBC & Mostyn Estates . Every time I travel between Llanrhos  & Penrhyn Bay I cant help thinking it`s only a matter of time before the land in that area will be developed .

The church will then host its maiden Christmas Tree Festival from December 3-5, with contributors including representatives from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), two schools from the area and Springfield Nursery, and the ‘Move it or Lose it’ exercise group.

Entrance is £1, with 50p donations to the fund for the church’s roof also encouraged.

The festival will be open between 10am and 4pm on December 3 and 4, and from 12-4pm on Sunday, December 5.

Church member Phyllis Oliver encouraged people to: “Come and see the diverse selection of decorated trees and visit 'the cathedral of Llandudno' and the beautiful fossil pillars inside the church,” adding: “It's a joyous occasion after a stressful time.”

Additionally, it has been outlined that council officials are finalising the designs for a controlled crossing over Queen’s Road, near Balfour Road.

The deployment of double yellow lines, will be utilised to address the issue of inconsiderate parking in proximity to the new traffic island.

“We are currently finalising the designs and will be conducting a stakeholder engagement exercise within the coming months, where hopefully we can attract further grant funding from the Welsh Government to construct the scheme by the end of this financial year.
