Reports of fireworks in Min y Don Park.
The long standing problem of dangerous use of scooters and cycles by youths is also being attended to, especially in the Llysfaen Road area. Any similar anti-social behaviour should, if possible, be recorded on personal cameras and forwarded to Op Snap. This is a very useful site. One may record occurrences and forward to them for action. It’s been in operation for 3 months, and 53 offences have been dealt with to date. The police cannot operate at full efficiency without us. Let’s give a hand! A member reported the sound of two shots of a shot gun in Cliff Road area at 9:00pm on the 3rd March 2019 but the police had no knowledge of this.

(b) Prom/Pier
Concerns re eastern end of the promenade. These are listed as “high risk” at Conwy County Borough Council. David Jones MP is working hard with the relevant stake holders and Chris Grayling, Minister of State for Transport has replied to him to the effect that this is not a matter for Central Government, but the Welsh Government, local authorities and stakeholders like Network Rail. Talks are ongoing but it is not yet determined what cost each should contribute. Recent video of the effect of storms have been forwarded to Conwy County Borough Council by Cllr. Cossey which illustrate the vulnerability of this area.
