The Friends of Queens Park Craig y Don have been awarded "Outstanding" by the Royal Horticultural Society and Wales in Bloom in the 2014 It's Your Neighbourhood award.

Awarding 88 out of a possible 100, the judge's report said that "The improvements within this open space have been staggering and have impacted on not only the maintenance of the park but also the development of the infrastructure."

"Actively sourcing funding, undertaking consultations with stake holders and park users whilst working with many organisations to promote the site, has delivered a new playground, additional landscaping, areas for wildlife and tree management improvements."

Well done to all the Friends of the Park who give up their time voluntarily to maintain and develop the park for use of the whole community. This has been a real team effort.

Le Gatte has been sold and is now being run as part of the Poyntons empire. Expect lots of meat on the menu.  $good$

The planned fish & chip shop for the empty shop at the side of CoffeeV will now not be going ahead and the building is back on the market.

A new Oestopathy Clinic is opening on Mostyn Avenue, in the old Caring Hands office.

Work is underway to renovate the Gate Posts at the entrance to Craig Y Don Park.

We were enjoying a visit to Craig Y Don Park last Sunday and my Partner commented how nice it would be if there was some sort of catering facility available there to provide snacks and drinks. Whilst I doubt a permanent structure would be feasible, maybe there is scope for someone like Providero to provide quality coffees, teas and cakes from a van, in return for a contribution towards further enhancement work in the park?

A tea stall has been discussed a number of times. We all agree it would be great.  I shall raise it with the park committee.

It is wonderful to see the park so busy these days.

I see they are currently rebuilding the main entrance.

I wonder has any consideration been given to rebuilding the former toilet block?

Yes, toilets have been discussed many times. The smaller problem is getting the money to build them.  The bigger problem is getting the Council to approve because of the ongoing cost of cleaning and maintenance.  However, I do know that solutions are being discussed, but don't hold your breath.

Coffee V are happy for non-customers to use their toilets.  They just ask for a donation to their chosen charity (it was St Davids Hospice).  There is a sign saying this in the noticeboard.

Here’s hoping, Andy, as the number of visitors to the park certainly support a reinstatement of the toilets.

No doubt, our 2 x County Councillors are doing their bit to help.

I assume the general public are still not allowed to use the toilet facilities in the community centre across the road?

I suggest Coffee V speak to one of the 6 x town councillors for our Ward because if they are offering that service to visitors to our village then Coffee V may be entitled to a generous cash payment from Llandudno Town Council in line with the many other local businesses.

You're right, such places as the Townhouse and King's Arms do it and get a good payment from it.

I never understand why businesses have signs such as 'TOILETS FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY DON'T DARE SET FOOT IN HERE'
Just off putting and makes me not want to visit those places and they seem unfriendly.
