This afternoon a motorcyclist with an L plate went through the pedestrian crossing outside M&S when the lights were on red and I was half way across the road. There's a CCTV camera there too, hope he was clocked. It was the same person who passed us on Marine Drive earlier going at a stupid speed.He was lucky then too as there was a car blocking most of the road reversing in to the only parking spot overlooking Llys Helig.

Do we know the exact location, Steve?

I could be wrong Ian, but it looks like just before  the bend when you turn left towards Bodnant  (going from Glan Conwy )

Hugo, you are more or less right. We went past about 3.30pm, the police were still there but the vehicles involved had been removed. It was just on the Glan Conwy side before the turn left to the Gardens.

Thanks.  Many drivers take that bend too quickly, I've noticed, and combined with cars attempting to leave Bodnant and the village I'm not really surprised. Another nasty one in Llandudno, according to BBC.

It looks like it was a bad crash with a number of people injured

Pump prices are on the rise and set to jump 5p a litre by the end of the month, warn retailers.
Prices are already edging up in the region with drivers reporting that some Tesco forecourts had put prices up a penny a litre overnight.
Now there is a warning that this is the start of rising prices with the potential of an extra 5p on a litre by the end of October.

I went to Llandudno today and found out that the Llandudno Road section by The Llandrillo Tech College is closed.  I don't know how long the road will be closed for while the resurfacing goes on.

It is the same either side of the Links roundabout, Hugo.

I suppose if these jobs have to be done then doing them during half term holiday should ease the problem around both Coleg Llandrillo and Ysgol Craigydon.

Thanks for that info Bri as I wasn't aware of it.    $good$

It makes sense to plan the work in those areas around the half term holiday.

The signs have been up at Llandrillo College for about 3 weeks but are no help if you are not a regular user of that stretch but I will avoid The Links roundabout now I know about it. Thanks.
