According to the Daily Mirror yesterday it was said that the switch from the Tax Disc to paperless would save £7 Million.  What has happened since paper tax discs were abolished is that the estimate of unpaid car tax has risen from £32 million to £97 million this year

If anyone in business did something similar they would have gone bankrupt years ago.      The Police and DVLA need to get their act together and sort out this problem together and it doesn't take rocket science to do it.

It has been hailing and snowing this morning in Colwyn Heights and the forecast for the afternoon is for heavy snow.  Mrs H has come safely back from shopping in the Bay but I can't get the car up the drive as it is sliding all over the place so I've left it in the road

I travelled from Colwyn Bay to Llandudno earlier today and traffic is being diverted down Bryn Y Bia Road and where Bryn Y Bia Road joins Colwyn Road the was a workman waving traffic on so that there was no build up of traffic at the stop sign.
I'm sure that trade at the Craigside Premier Inn will be affected by the closure of the road so I hope that the road can be reopened asap

Note that you can get to the Brewers Fayre from the Llandudno side (ignore the Road Closed sign) - Council have been asked to erect a sign saying Business As Usual - my son works there and tells me the upper car park will be closed due to the proximity of rubble when they take down the rocks, but they are open for business.

I traveled last evening and the road was open, so the matter must have been resolved.
