Only the very bottom bit of Bodhyfryd Road is to be closed, adjacent to the Clarence. Pedestrian access is to be maintained, I believe.

Correct and the one way system is to be abolished for the duration.

Incident on Marine Drive! Two ambulances, one police car, and the yellow helicopter winching up a person on a stretcher as I type this.

Injured man airlifted to hospital after Great Orme fallA man has been airlifted to hospital after falling from the Great Orme at Llandudno, Conwy.

Holyhead coastguards scrambled cliff rescuers and an inshore RNLI lifeboat from Llandudno at about 16:00 GMT.

The man was discovered to have fallen about 30ft (nine metres) on the landward side of the Orme, and an RAF Sea King helicopter was called.

Coastguards said the man was airlifted on a spinal board to Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor.

His condition is unknown.

Sorry Ian.... I am just getting the hang of Dave's 'hand me down' iphone.
It took me half an hour to post the little bit that I did!
Pics? Vids?  Are you saying my iphone can do such things?
Maybe Dave is leaving those advanced lessons until next week?  :laugh:

Er, Yeah....SDQ, 

Its a very impressive piece of technology, and has many bells and whistles.

Sadly though, it is rubbish at making and receiving phonecalls, which old fashioned though it may seem, I quite like to do with telephones.
The signal in my house is zero, whereas in the past my previous phone had no problems.

I'll give it a week, and review the situation then..... at the moment I am leaning towards going back to my old phone.  ?{}?

Ideal for me as I detest making phone calls, it's very rare that I ever answer a phone!  :rage:  :laugh:

Three fire engines and a police van just turned up at Clarence Hotel, no sign of any fire though.

It's just been on the local ITV news that CCBC are now objecting to UPVC windows in Home Cooking, the owner said ' they have been there for 30 years!'. seems that they are looking at all hotels etc on a case by case basis.  I would have thought they have more important things to sort out!  :roll:

Maybe someone has a "connection" with a wooden replacement window company!   NO!  It couldn't be that!    WWW

I expect others saw John Lawson Reay on Wales Today putting forward the view that the Conservation Area should be protected. When these properties are bought, I would have thought a reputable solicitor would point out to the buyers that consent is needed for certain activities - after all even the tint of paint of regulated on the prom!

Yorkie, are you suggesting that someone, who has had to replace his/her windows recently, maybe insisting that everyone else must now replace theirs as well?

Cambrian is also correct with his/her observation.

Perhaps a few solicitors may need to start checking their professional indemnity insurance policies if they overlooked advising clients correctly with their purchases over the past 30+ years.
