Minutes of Committee Meeting held on 15th March at Conwy Yacht Club, Deganwy
PRESENT: Cllr. Samantha Cotton, Petra Haig, Maurice Clarke, John Griffiths, David Haynes, Shirley Morrison, Bob Shorthouse, Cllr. C. Gilligan, Cllr. Jason Weyman, Kaye Macpherson, Bill Wright, CM Roberts,
Community Police Officer Jill Buerdsell.
1. APOLOGIES: Norman Barker, Christopher Brigg, John Aczel, Viv Shorthouse, Vicky Stanley, Richard Haig.
The Chair has received a letter of resignation from Cllr Dennis Tew following an accident which has affected his mobility. AS a local Councillor he would still like to receive the minutes.
2. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MINUTES and signing
3. MATTERS ARISING:
THE CASTLE HOTEL- has been purchased by Charles Lynch of the Rothsey Hotel.
Jason has reported that Mr Rafferty (head of regulatory services.) has no plans for using this facility as homeless accommodation and will be monitoring the situation.
Jason has heard that the long term plans are for apartments and a hotel with a smaller function room.
However there will be a period of development and several “guardian angels” will be living in the building to maintain it.
Jason has tried to meet with Mr Lynch to confirm these reports and Petra suggested we invite him to the DDRA meeting to discuss the future of the Hotel. (A possible speaker for the AGM?)
4. Beach clean up- was well attended and a large collection of rubbish was removed.
Several passers by commented on the clean up and wanted to help out or find out more information about the DDRA.
No notices had been posted as the village notice board has been removed for renovation.
This needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
In the meantime the Post Office is putting up notices.
The flood gates have not been opened during the winter and are blocking the path causing problems for the elderly and disabled. Wheelchairs and other mobility aides have to be lifted over.
Notices should alert users at West shore that they may not be able to proceed past the gates. There was some discussion about alternative access along the beach or a ramp.
Jason will take this matter up again with Dyfed Rowlands at environmental services.
4. PROM DAY COMMITTEE
The website is running and the event is being organised- Next meeting 16th March at the Yacht Club.
The Dash has been organised and stalls are being arranged.
The DDRA are to run a stall and sell Raffle Tickets – this is also an opportunity to publicise the DDRA meetings. Notice of the DDRA meetings has not been posted in the Weekly news. A website or blog would be useful for the DDRA.
5. RAILWAY STILE, Glan Y Mor Road.
Network Rail is planning to close this following a near miss in the last 2 weeks. There are no details of the “near miss”. Unfortunately this crossing is not a public right of way, but there is a covenant in local house deeds for residents to have access to the beach. A Civil Claim against Network Rail would need to be made to enforce this.
Network Rail is not responding to queries at present.
This is a well used crossing and a petition against its closure is available to sign in Mr. Patel’s shop, the Harbour Fish and Chip shop and Save Deganwy Crossing on Face book.
Marie Jones from the Weekly News has been contacted to write an article informing the public of this.-
DDRA secretary to send a letter voicing our concern and local discontent with this proposal.
