Every piece of the Llandudno heritage needs to be protected not destroyed. The things that are going on in the world at the moment means that Llandudno and the surrounding areas needs protection from the developers who stand to make a quick buck, leaving the area devoid of landscapes and many of its wonderful buildings. I find it really hard to understand how one of the landmarks with such history could be treated like this. Even more confusing is the Windfarm off the most beautiful coast for miles around if not in Britain. It appears that the developers and the large companies will get their way whatever the locals think. They don't give a fig what happens to trade as a result, and it appears from all that is going on that some Councillors stand by with total disregard for the events taking place in front of them. They certainly don't represent the community or the long term business trade from where I sit. Llandudno is struggling as is every holiday destination in Britain, attracting new customers is getting harder and events like these will have a detrimental effect on us in the long term. If owners think that they would be better off turning their unprofitable hotels into brand new flats, the developers should be forced by the Planning Dept to maintain the building in its original form or at least preserve the frontage to protect the heritage of the area. I,ve no problem with hotels being converted into flats rather than falling into disrepair because people numbers are dwindling year on year, people expect more from Hotels now and if its proven they are failing its better to have it done up and preserved rather than looking like some places in Llandudno at the moment. Anyone know whats going to happen to the once grand Castle Hotel, is that next for the demolisher's. Who cares if it cost more to do up than build a new one, preserve it!And for Gods sake do something with the bomb site next to the pier! Why has it been left so long, its just a blot on the very soul of Llandudno.
