(13) Any other business:
A question was asked as to when the sand blown on to the prom between the pier and Porth Eirias would be removed. Talked about whether it can be returned to the beach or not. After discussion agreed the secretary would write and find out.
The electric speed limit signs by Wynn Gardens and Llanelian Road weren’t working. Secretary to report to Council
Reported that the pavements under the underpass on Rotary Way were both covered in bird droppings. As we are trying to get visitors to use the new prom these weren’t very inviting to pedestrians. Ask the Council for a sweeper to clean the paths and netting to stop the birds roosting there in the first place.
Why did the Council need a Diversity Manager when they were obviously already in financial difficulties?
The steps on to the beach by the fishing platform still not open, why not? Secretary to find out.
