Passing Glodaeth St. car park today, I thought it looked different, and realised there was a row of cars missing, I assume the first car in, straddled the dividing line and the rest followed, with the loss of approx. 24 spaces and fees  there are very faint markings, and definitely needs repainted.
Llandudno already struggles for parking .......... $angry$

Which side of Gloddaeth did you mean? The York Road car park has recently been re-painted and the huge pot holes filled in. ( Not so the broken fencing and dangerous overhead barriers) but I imagine you mean the one in Maelgwyn Road? We locals have been haranguing the council for 12 months on the subject.

Sorry Nem, Yes I meant the Maelgwn Rd. car park, .....when I passed yesterday afternoon, there was a group of people trying to get tickets from the machine without success.  &shake&

Wondered where to post this but I think in here will do. This is from our car dash cam taken on Tuesday as we passed through Glan Conwy. It's almost unbelievable but watch it until the coach comes round the narrow bend - quickly :-)

Should be displaying a red flag on it at a guess!

Some people should not be given a driving license.

Stupid ........... How could they not see, that was going to happen, the only consolation is that they would have had one hell of a shock when those pipes? jumped in the car, very lucky not to loose control. :o

Had he been spotted by the police he'd almost certainly have been booked. Certainly was entertaining watching him...

That road is particularly bad at that point so it's a good job that the coach driver wasn't over the line or otherwise  there could have been a serious accident.

The Police can do something about it because I've seen another clip of extremely bad driving and I think it was in the Vale of Clwyd area and the driver was prosecuted as a result

If a motorcyclist had met him the results might have been tragic.  Well, the footage is time stamped and legally admissible, according to the manufacturers, so I'll wait and see if they're interested.

Interesting.  And that guy was jailed.
