Here, a chap by the name of Craig Ollerton takes on the issue. Mr Ollerton believes the site should have been acquired by compulsory purchase and a cool million should shut up and get rid of the idiot nut job of an owner. Mr Ollerton believes the owner doesn't give a flying crap about the town and would like to see something built in a similar format to what was there previously.
I do not think there are any facilities that could replicate the wrought ironwork along similar lines today Mr Ollerton. No craftsmen about of that calibre. Use the basement level as underground parking for all the neighbouring hotels eh? Would this be free parking? Surely not!
A museum? No, we already have one. A casino? In Llandudno? Maybe you would enjoy to while away the hours gambling Mr Ollerton, but I do not think the majority of old aged pensioners would. These are the backbone of the town's holiday trade and are usually in bed by nine o'clock. No big spenders among that crowd either as most of them could peel an orange in their pocket.
Finally, to quote you Mr Ollerton: Leaving it as an empty space would be a waste, a theatre, probably not viable, a hotel no, apartments, no, no, no.
Looks like it will be apartments, yes, yes, yes, Mr Ollerton.
I have heard of this character. A bit of a nut job himself by all accounts
ReplyDeleteHe does not even live in Llandudno, he departed on bad terms, but likes to stick his oar in quite a lot.
ReplyDeleteAn ideal place to bring back the town dump
ReplyDeleteTurn it into a landfill and make the amusement arcade a recycling centre.
