The People Have Spoken - Part II




I can't recall a time that an issue aroused as much interest locally as the fate of Colwyn Bay Pier. It's now speculated that as many as 500 people tried to attend the public meeting at the Town Hall, Colwyn Bay, last night (only about 200 were able to squeeze in) and the local blogosphere has been full of nothing else for the last few days. A Facebook Group that was only set up a couple of days ago now has 920 members - if you're on Facebook, please join and contribute to the discussions!

Update: The Facebook Group now has 1,023 members; please join and show your support if you haven't already done so.

I'm glad you liked my hat, Mrs Byron. I didn't see you there but I did have a chat with Cllr Oddy - he looked very dapper with his red scarf. I also saw a few other Councillors, nice to see a good turnout. That Oscar's a tinker, isn't he?

Wondered where that woman of mine was the other night. Bimey. You can't let these trollops out of your sight for a minute. Had to cook me own sandwich, I did.
