A dedicated team of volunteers has been helping to brighten some of Llandudno’s busiest streets and public spaces as part of an ongoing effort to keep the seaside resort looking its best.
The recently renamed Llandudno Tidy Team has been carrying out litter picking and weeding at a number of prominent locations across the town centre, creating a cleaner and more welcoming environment for residents and the thousands of visitors expected during the summer season.
Formerly known as the Friends of Mostyn Street, the group has adopted its new name to reflect its growing work across the wider town centre and areas including Craig y Don. Alongside the rebrand, volunteers have also unveiled a new logo and invested in new tabards and equipment.
On July 1, the team concentrated its efforts on the corner and railings near the Love to Eat café on Upper Mostyn Street, removing litter and clearing weeds to improve the appearance of the area. Volunteers also tackled sections of the Carlton roundabout, carrying out a thorough clean-up at one of the town’s busiest gateways.
The group plans to continue its work in the coming weeks with further environmental improvements planned in the same area and locations including Augusta Street.
The volunteers say their work is designed to complement the efforts of Conwy County Borough Council’s cleansing teams, helping to ensure Llandudno remains an attractive destination throughout the year.
Claire McElroy, Chair of the Llandudno Tidy Team, praised the commitment of those giving up their free time to improve the town.
She said: “Every bag of litter collected and every patch of weeds cleared makes a real difference to the look and feel of our town.
“We are incredibly grateful to our dedicated volunteers who give their time to help keep Llandudno looking its best.
“Whether you can spare an hour or a few hours each month, we’d love to welcome new members to the team. It’s a great way to make a positive impact on the community, meet like-minded people and take pride in where we live.”
The Llandudno Tidy Team meets every Wednesday at 5.30pm at Trinity Church and is encouraging anyone interested in litter picking, weeding or other environmental improvement projects to get involved. New volunteers are welcome regardless of experience.
