Common sense has prevailed with Llandudno cycle path decision

Nov 5 2009

IN response to Mr Spilsbury's tirade last week, is it not time for him to accept that he has already cost Conwy council ratepayers and the Welsh Assembly Government massive amounts of money, on these unused cycle tracks, which would have been far better spent on more worthwhile projects.

The ongoing debacle on the West Shore, is a prime example, that is costing the ratepayer £1,000's each year on the never ending attempts to clear the sand off the ill conceived route across the West Shore sand hills.

The latest experiment of getting contractors to erect wicker fences to contain the sand has failed miserably and the latest brain wave from Highways in Llanfairfechan is to ship the sand across to the Conwy Morfa beach at further continuing cost to the ratepayers.

No doubt to return on the next westerly wind across the estuary.

Is it not surprising that our councillors have finally seen the folly of these expensive and high maintenance projects and have chosen the needs of our town residents and school children over the novelty riders who want to spoil the our lovely promenades.
