WORK has begun on the Grand Hotel in Llandudno, with a revamp of the building exterior underway.

Town residents spotted workers adjusting and updating the signage, but it is not known if this is all that will be done to the hotel.

A ten-year regeneration plan for the town has proposed a public/private partnership to buy and operate the hotel and restore its once-brilliant reputation.

Many residents have called for the building to be replenished for several years, with some believing it should be demolished altogether.
