2 3 Introduction from the Mayor

Welcome to Llandudno Town Council’s well-being annual report which I hope you will enjoy reading. The report sets out the significant work currently undertaken by the Town Council for the Llandudno community area. It covers a wide range of services, facilities and events, either provided by the Town Council or in partnership with other bodies.

In March 2020, Llandudno, like the rest of and the entered a period of lock-down in response to the global COVID 19 pandemic. As a result, many of the events organised by the Town Council throughout the year have had to be cancelled and new ways of working introduced to ensure the safety of Members, staff, and the public. Meetings are being held remotely and key decisions continue to be discussed and made to ensure we provide a continuing service to the residents of the town.

This is a pandemic that has affected many aspects of local life, but the Town Council is committed to serving the community and the well-being and environment of our town and all its citizens and visitors.

On behalf of the Town Council and the community, I would also like to sincerely thank the hard-working and dedicated front-line and essential workers, who together with the army of selfless volunteers have been diligent and caring in the face of this pandemic and its many challenges.

Over the years, Llandudno has consistently been voted as one of the best places to visit in Britain and hosted many national and international events including the Wales Rally GB and World Snooker Tour Championship, as well as conferences by national bodies and societies. We look forward to welcoming these visitors and holiday makers again soon to our beautiful town.

We are a vibrant town with a proactive community that cares and respects its cultural and environmental heritage. I am proud of the work our Town Council undertakes and I am proud of the people and the wonderful community spirit that makes this town what it is.
