though the North Wales Coastal Cycleway tends to bypass the easy, obvious but unlawful route along the Llandudno promenade.

Have a read of The Three Towns Forum - Llandudno, Colwyn Bay & Conwy > The Local > Local News & Discussion > Topic: Cycle lanes in the area ,Brumbob. It will help explain why there isn't a cycle path on the Prom

I quite liked the look of the houses on York Road, Deganwy - the ones with the great views! But I think they're a bit out of my price range ;-)
Just out of interest, how prone to clogging up is the road from Deganwy to Llandudno Junction?

It only really clogs up at exceptionally busy times such as Victorian Extravaganza Weekend (May Day Bank Holiday) and now and again in the Summer usually around 5pm ish.  It only backs up down the Deganwy road from the Weekly News roundabout as Llandudno traffic joins with Conwy traffic trying to get on the A55.  Then again there are back roads through the houses that I am sure you would get to know once familiar with the area and you would be able to avoid any tailbacks.

It doesn't really explain anything Blongb, Save Our Promenade and Mostyn Estates just don't want it full stop even though it works fine elsewhere.
Shame they didn't put as much effort into the view from the prom

You can't fight Westminster Brumbob, they made that decision for the "Good of us all"  $uk

It would be interesting to know the figures of the efficiency of these wind turbines after hearing that England’s best known wind turbine in Reading cost £130,000 to raise electricity worth just £100,000 last year.

The only clean energy that would work effectively around here is tidal barrages at either end of the Menai Straight  $welsh$

Moving to Llandudno
« Reply #23 on: April 27, 2011, 08:28:37 pm »
Hi all

I am looking for a fresh start in Llandudno or surrounding area's and am wondering if anyone has any numbers of private Landlords etc which I could try.

I would be on HB for a short while initially and would have my deposit back from my present Flat which I would use for any deposit.

I'm only looking for a 1 Bedroom Flat, I have tried Rightmove and most of them want a Guarantor or large reference fees etc, so best bet would be private Landlords.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Iam thinking of moving to Llandudno after spending a great week here a month or so ago.
I trade as a plumber/tiler (Please see face book site  kevin mcclements plumbing....) and I'm hoping to relocate business over here
I was wondering if anyone knows of any lodgings or trade accomodation that would be available on a week to weekend basis?
Thanks in anticipation
Kevin

Plenty of good quality B & B places in and around the town.   Or you could maybe squat in any one of the areas empty properties, or pitch a tent adjacent to the Pier.  Don't know of any "trade" accommodation.   We are over run with plumbers, amateur and professional so it may not be that lucrative.    Z**

Just make me a sensible offer and you can have the deeds as soon as you've paid.   ZXZ
