  Abergele was a thriving market town but sadly this is no longer true. Open up a Co-op Farmers Shop/Cookery demo at a low rent in one of the larger empty shops e.g. next to the Library Car Park. People want fresh local produce at affordable prices. So many people have a poor diet due to costly food and they are untrained in how to cook it. The rise of obesity needs to be tackled. This would be a win-win for people and local producers.

  Employment for Abergele. We arrange private tours all over North Wales and bring a great deal of revenue to the area. Our groups have attended en mass the Gwrych Castle Open Days this year, every one of them and we have been overwhelmed by the effort and the work that is going on there by the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust. Who are now jointly in partnership at last and able to do something with this wonderful estate to help it after years of ownership issues. The latest owners have made the Trust their partners and they are leasing the Estate to the Trust at last. We will be there encouring tourists to Abergele and bringing a lot of revenue to Abergele if the powers that be at Conwy Council will at last do something to support this magestic landmark and not keep dismissing it. Thousands of people are supporting the Trust and it is worldwide. We get visitors from overseas all the time asking to attend Gwrych Castle and now we can offer them something thanks to the Trust doing their events. We will be there again on the 23rd of August offering our support as tourists and booking coaches of tourists to attend all their events. Why is it that Conwy Council have not helped more and you now have your chance to do the right thing and to do all possible to back the Gwrych Castle Trust who are an organised and forward thinking Charity to further their aim and bring a landmark back to life in Abergele. Cannot praise their efforts enough and it's remarkable to see such hard work going on with Staff, Volunteers and Trustees. Who give their time freely to help Abergele. Back them please and let's get this show on the road. The Trust have the power to make a difference and they need you Conwy Council. So do we. My childhood holidays were spent in Abergele. Nothing there now and we want those good times back and relive our memories at Gwrych with our Grandchildren! Make it happen! Thank you.

  Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust is already employing people through their fundraising. Why not support them and assist with funding and provide more work at Gwrych Estate alongside promoting an attraction for the area at the same time by helping restore the Melon house region. Go for it Conwy Council and let's see you in action.
