What has happened to the flower baskets, the market, the parking sign posting is very poor. The shops need to be more interesting, tourism is needed, maybe close the high street to traffic for events.

  Just take a look at the Market Street pavements and note the weeds and grass growing everywhere. Bird droppings everywhere and closed shops with fly posters. All this and tatty shop fronts give the town a run-down don’t care about appearance. Perhaps we need incentives (or fines). How about a Pride in Abergele Shopping competition prize day?

  WORK MORE WITH GWRYCH CASTLE AND DO A JOINT HIGH STREET VENTURE DAY WITH THE GWRYCH TRUST TO DRAW IN THE TOURISTS. 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.
