What's Llandudno Like Right Now?

I wonder if Mostyn Estates will again suggest a park and ride from Bodafon Farm so that they can get  their greedy mitts on the land for building further houses?

Conwy's soaring parking fees leaves Great Orme site swamped and forced to act
'Some people were being sent here by local hotels'

From the start of June, a parking charge of £2 for up to six hours was introduced, overseen by Parking Eye. Some regulars have already been caught out by the switch: this week a dad watching his son on the ski slope complained of receiving a £100 fine – reduced to £60 if paid within 28 days. “I always thought it was free as have never paid before,” he grumbled online.

That paper can’t get the story correct ever. 😂😂.    It was 3 doors from your family home Hugo.

Cwm Place it is so well done Norman.      Trust the Daily Post to get the article wrong

I went on Google street view and didn't recognise my old street.    The lampost is outside Neville Southall's old house but for some reason on street view Nev's house is blurred out.        I had a look at my old home and the 1936 pebble dash rendering is unchanged unlike most of the other houses there.
Any idea what happened for the driver to hit the lamppost so hard that they end up in hospital ?

'Essential' Llandudno phone mast plan approved
'We pride Llandudno on being a Victorian resort, but that doesn't mean we have to live in the Victorian ages when it comes to technology'

Plans to install mobile phone antennas on the roof of Venue Cymru have been approved by Conwy ’s planning committee - despite objections from planning officers. The application, submitted by Cornerstone, was granted conditional planning permission at a meeting held at the council’s Coed Pella HQ last week.

The telecoms company sought permission to install six new antennas on two steel frames on the roof of the council-owned Venue Cymru building in Llandudno. But planning officers had recommended the application be refused, citing concerns from the council’s conservation officer.

Woman fights for life after Llandudno crash as driver arrested
The crash happened on Saturday evening and sparked a major emergency response

I couldn't understand how this accident could have happened in my old street as the street is narrow and on a curve at this point but:-
The driver – a 23-year-old woman - was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving with no insurance.

My thoughts are with the passenger and I hope that she survives this accident
