Lets hope that Mostyn estates get their plans in January for the Tudno Castle and hope all our councillors vote it through.

Delivery at the Clarence this morning ----after the wagon had managed to get round the mini roundabout by perching on the wall and dropping off with an almighty crash!

It doesn't appear to be listed in the January meeting so it may be listed in the February one but don't hold your breath.
Mostyn Estates are not ones to dip into their own pocket too quickly.
CCBC should watch this one carefully for any delays in restoration or rebuilding.

The developer will be paying for the work, Mostyn Estates will just be leasing the site to them, I imagine.

You are correct of course Dave but it doesn't excuse any delay on the matter, as the ultimate responsibility for the building is at present with Mostyn Estates.

I was walking past Hoosons Chemists earlier, and it struck me how the property is fast becoming a candidate for the Eyesores list. Besides all the peeling paintwork and vinyls, there is now a boarded up window on the Gloddaeth St side. You'd think a Landlord trying to let the property would keep it in a smart state of repair to encourage its letting? Maybe dropping the rental price to a more realistic level might help too...  ;)

Someone wanted all the shop, not just a part, so T.A.B. backed out. Then the other person couldn't get permission. hence the new eyesore.

I believe it was a case of the 'other person' deciding not to go ahead with the deal, rather than being refused permission.

Work at the Clarence Hotel is really moving along at a fast pace. The steel frame of the rear extension is now complete and they are laying the floors. The floor construction method is interesting - instead of craning in concrete beams, they are laying a metal formwork and it looks as though they intend to pump the concrete into that formwork. Not seen that done before.

Plans have been announced for the Tudno Castle and if you follow the link below, you will find the brochure to download with plans and artists impressions.  Looks a good development, just a shame it'll be opposite the largest charity shop in North Wales when the British Heart Foundation opens...
