CONWY County Borough Council have announced that work will start on phase two of Llandudno’s Mostyn Street repaving programme later this month.

The second phase will focus on improving pavements on the west side of Mostyn Street, between Gloddaeth Street and Lloyd Street.

Upgrades will include replacing kerbs and pavements, using heritage-style paving slabs up to the shop boundaries.

Harry Saville, Mayor of Llandudno and Councillor for the Gogarth Ward, said: “It is great to see money being spent improving Llandudno and whilst there will still be much more of Mostyn Street to do, this is a big improvement for our high street.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the results.”

Greg Robbins, Conwy County Borough Council Cabinet Member for the Environment and Transport, and Councillor for the Mostyn Ward, echoed Mr Saville’s sentiments, and said: “This is a significant infrastructure project for Llandudno.

“The new pavements are of a different design to the current ones, so will hopefully last much longer and enhance Mostyn Street.”

The upgrading of the popular tourist attraction’s infrastructure is a welcome sign after about 30 years of large-scale repaving projects never materialising, until phase one of the project was finished in 2019.

The work has been lauded by North Wales MS, Sam Rowlands, who said: “The poor state of the pavements have been complained about for years by locals and visitors alike and I am delighted to see the council is now continuing with this project.

“Llandudno, as we all know, is a major tourist and shopping destination.

“It is a jewel in the crown for North Wales attracting thousands of visitors every year.

“It is absolutely vital for the continued prosperity of the town that improvements are made and areas like pavements are in keeping with the Victorian heritage of this area.”

The second phase is set to start on Monday, 14 February, and is due to finish on Friday, 8 April.
