Everything to do with the Conwy Valley

[Meleri]

My husband was on the Priority Register & they sent us a message advising us the water was going off & to store as much water as we could, which we did. When we were down to the last few litres I called to ask how much longer would it be before we had water delivered, to be told he wasn't on the Priority Register.

I explained that we had had two telephone calls giving us updates as we were on the register & she repeated he wasn't on the list, but would I like her to register his information, which she did. She then said she didn't know when there would be a delivery as people on dialysis at home etc would come first.

We never got that delivery & had to depend on friends & family living in Dwygyfylchi & Llanfairfechan to keep us supplied, as they were still on.

I discovered yesterday they had delivered to a holiday home in my street twice. Where was the fairness in that & I'm very angry about it.

Our Local Ward Councillor contacted The Senedd in the first 24 hours we were off, asking for help as Welsh Water had nothing in place for an incident such as this. They didn't reply & I'm even more angry about that.

Welsh Water are an absolute disgrace.

Meleri, I do sympathise, in case you missed it, my post No237 on this thread, explained the similarities we both encountered, with some advice and a link, it may help.  Steve

Chaotic scenes labelled 'shambolic' after up to 100,000 people left without water

One local MS called it a 'horrendous' and 'heartbreaking' experience

The response to a burst pipe which left up to 40,000 homes and 100,000 people without water for days was "shambolic and insufficient," MSs have said. Supplies in the Conwy Valley, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay were impacted from Wednesday January 15.

Conservative MS for Aberconwy, Janet Finch-Saunders, told the Senedd: "It was horrendous, it’s probably the most heartbreaking experience I have ever witnessed…. I can’t emphasise enough just how upsetting it was. People have been left traumatised by it … it was a humanitarian crisis."................ https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/chaotic-scenes-labelled-shambolic-after-30835274?IYA-reg=49560bcd-5a9c-47f0-8fc5-ba2e71710589

Thanks for the link to register again Steve & I hadn't seen your post on No 237. It certainly is quite clear it's happened to a lot of us & what a terrible thing to do to vulnerable people in dumping their data. It should be made clear that you have to register every 12 months in that case.  What I can't understand is they telephoned & on the recorded message it stated as my husband was on the register they were informing him to store water, as there had been a burst & he acknowledged the call by pressing 3, yet he wasn't on the register for bottled water?
Welsh Water have a lot to answer for.

One of world's most photographed tearooms has undergone a dramatic change

An inspection by National Trust Cymru, which is responsible for the 15th-century property's external walls and roof, revealed that the tearoom's iconic plant requires a significant trim. The evaluation of a small section of the roof showed signs of plant ingress and minor damage to some slates, which are secured with wooden pegs............ https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/one-worlds-most-photographed-tearooms-30886045

Update........What inspectors found beneath dense thatch cloaking iconic North Wales tearoom

The 545-year-old building has been given a 'haircut' - and there's been a surprising reaction to its new naked look.

Post-trim inspections have been undertaken at an historic tearoom recently shorn of its world-famous coat of ivy. Fifteenth century Tu Hwnt i’r Bont in Llanrwst, Conwy, underwent a dramatic transformation last week when much of its iconic Virginia creeper was stripped away.

The denuded Grade II-listed riverside building, located beside Pont Fawr bridge, has long been a magnet for photographers, especially in autumn when its ivy turns crimson red. While its “haircut” shocked some people, there’s been a surprisingly positive reaction online with some people loving its new look..................photos ............. https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/what-inspectors-found-beneath-dense-30928150?IYA-reg=49560bcd-5a9c-47f0-8fc5-ba2e71710589
