Llandudno's Alice in Wonderland statue in a 'terrible' state claims councillorA row has erupted amid claims Llandudno’s famous White Rabbit statue is being neglected in a depot pending repair work.
The sculpture – a Grade II listed object which was originally unveiled on the town’s West Shore in 1933 by Prime Minister David Lloyd George – is undergoing renovation after being vandalised.
It was removed for repairs in 2012 and is due to be relocated to the grounds of the town’s Victorian tram shelter nearby.
But Llandudno Town Councillor Carol Marubbi said she was “shocked” to find the statue still in storage at a Conwy County Borough Council nursery in Colwyn Bay.
Cllr Marubbi, who inspected the statue with two other councillors recently, said the model was in a “terrible” state and had moss growing on it after being left unprotected from the elements.
She told the Daily Post: “It was infuriating. I was shocked. It is a big issue to Llandudno. Look at the money spent on the Alice Trail and wooden statues around the town and yet the marble White Rabbit Statue was in a terrible state left in a yard. It deserves more respect.”
