Llandudno revisited
A lot of excitement in the north this morning as the Labour Council Group leader on Conwy Council takes a swipe at my colleague and fellow blogger, Stephanie Ashley, for her account of the Conference weekend in Llandudno.
Steph has apparently committed the sin of talking about Llandudno as a place where English people retire to, which is a fact. Except that she used rather less prosaic language. I thought that her response to the controversy was spot-on:
But she insisted: “No offence was intended to the people of Llandudno and I’m sure few will over-react like the council leader.
“It was a light-hearted remark about a town which impressed me.
“Llandudno is a great place to have a conference. No wonder people think it is a great place to retire to. I’m flattered Ronnie Hughes has made reading my blog such a priority.”
The whole tenor of her blog entry was one of being impressed with the town and its facilities. I suppose that when there are local elections in the offing and the possibility of a headline this does not matter too much to the local Labour Party.

Ronnie Hughes has not been council leader for at least 4 years.
So like the Liberals, not ones for getting their facts correct.
