They certainly managed to do a Compulsory Purchase on the Market Hall in Colwyn Bay easily enough...

The Pier Pavilion is my biggest bug-bear.
I have been silent on the subject this year, as our new Mayor, Mr Robbins has it at the top of his priority list to get it done.

The clock is still ticking... and nothing has been seen or heard.

Give him a chance - he's got until May!   L0L   Then he hopes that with the new Elections everyone will have forgotten what he said 4 years ago!   I suspect the rest of the Council will think likewise.   :twoface:

At the last meeting of Conwy County's Communities Overview and Scrutiny committee I'm sure the Chairman said there would be a report at the next meeting on the progress made regarding the Pier Pavillion Site.

Next meeting is on 9th Feb and the report title seems to be "To provide an update on the proposals for the Pier Pavilion Site following discussions with the Design Council for Wales"

Keep an eye on the following link. Agenda and reports should be out by the 2nd Feb

Oscar raises the question over on Twitter of how Chester Council can acquire the derelict Odeon cinema in their city centre for redevelopment as an Arts Centre, yet CCBC are apparently unable to do the same for the Pier Pavilion site? The answer, I suspect, comes down to enthusiasm for getting the job done.

Chester Council's slogan - 'Investing in the City'

CCBC's slogan - 'Doing b****r all since 1996'

I have split the Pier Pavilion topic out of the 'Local Eyesores' section, as it is such a long running issue for the town. Hopefully, Mayor Robbins will shortly be unveiling his master plan for the redevelopment of the site....  :roll:

Lets be honest with the way the economy is now we have no chance,the owner only wants flats and with CCBC not prepared to seize the land we will be stuck with this whole for a long time.

Surely at the very least the council could enforce a big tidy up, even if they do it and send him the bill?

Wrex, I hate to break it to you, but 2012 actually marks the EIGHTEENTH YEAR since the terrible arson attack robbed the resort of The Pavilion.

I have just read all 5 pages, I was feeling happy when I started, (no jokes about the seven dwarfs please), but now, dear me, what a mess, I expect we will still be posting on this topic when we have reached 50 or 60 pages.  If all of the consolidated brains found on this forum have not been able to crack it, there is no hope for a solution ever being found.  I reckon all of this discussion will be pointless when, in the not to distant future, the pier as a whole disappears beneath the waves for lack of maintenance. :'( :'( :'(

Just to let you know the self seeded Sycamore trees that have been growing along the fence of the site have all been removed. I was told this was because there roots were interfering with the electrical main. Once the fence painting is completed it should look a lot better.
