Ever quick off the mark the Weekly News have, at long last picked up not only my story of some weeks ago that the Castle Hotel in Conwy was for sale for £2.5m, omitting to say they make £250,000 per year, but also the saga of the Clarence hotel in Llandudno and it's many planning issues! Today there is a blatant lie being peddled by one of the tenants of the hotel. She states that it will remain as...

Good news if you’ve seen enough: this is my last vacation slideshow post. As well as our beach time in Llanfairfechan we visited Conwy, Llandudno, Great Orme, Beaumaris, Caernarfon and walked to Aber Falls and Llyn Idwal. We also went inside Electric Mountain, a hydro-electric power station - very interesting and a good thing to do [...]

It appears to be true, Conwy council has again lost an appeal at our financial expense against their refusal to grant the shop in Deganwy permission for a change of use to, you guessed it, A3, cafe. Their refusal stems for their long outdated district plan of 1982, yes you read it right, 1982!! What have they been doing since then? Can we at least have a new plan based on this millennium'? The Arsembly...

Well thats the last time I go to conwy for a long time. I had no idea that as well as road works blocking all routes from conwy to Llandudno ,routes are blocked into conwy. It cost one trader quite a few pounds, for I was so furious I came straight back out of the town. Without bothering going to the shop. I counted 5 vehicles including a school bus jumping a red light going across and at least 5 impeding...

My steering problems have been becoming more and more negliable, and I even braved Mostyn Street in Llandudno, as well as Conwy Road in [...]

I'll be staying in a village called Penmaenmawr which is where I used to stay in the days over a decade ago when I worked as the organiser for Conwy constituency. So I have just lugged the cameras across rush hour London to Euston station, having called in at a camera shop to buy camcorder tapes. Unfortunately, I
