Llandudno: Calls for action to improve phone signal problems

The Welsh Government has been urged to take action to address a lack of mobile phone signal in Llandudno.

It follows concerns that the large number of visitors to the popular tourist town is adding to the issue.

The problem is also said to be preventing businesses from accepting payments.

Commenting ahead of raising the issue in the Senedd, Conservative MS for Aberconwy Janet Finch-Saunders said: “The consequences of the overloading of masts in Llandudno are serious.

“Mobile payment machines are failing, leaving businesses unable to take payments; and residents and visitors cannot get hold of loved ones.

“Mobile service providers are informing residents and businesses that they need to wait until winter to have a reliable service restored. That just isn’t good enough.

“Llandudno needs 21st century technology, and the Welsh Government should work with the local authority, UK Government, and private sector to put a plan together for the community.”
