Posted on 18th January 2012
 
Barmouth Resort Improvement Group have been working hard behind the scenes to try and make sure all the projects are achieved successfully and to the highest standards possible.
 
Some things appear to be slow due to paper work, company deadlines, and liasing with relevent bodies and individuals etc, however it is all necessary to provide the very best professional outcomes and to ensure that we deliver on our promises.
 
We understand that in some cases very little is known about the progress we have made, so we have decided to give everyone the chance to check this page on a regular basis to see where we are.
 
 Barmouth Station Project
 
We have recieved a Grant from Keep Wales Tidy for work on the Railway Station and have already added the new benches.  New bins will be in place soon and also a new planting schedule for the summer to compliment the annual plants we have added so far.
 
Together we hope that in the next few months we will have even more reasons to be proud of our Station, with the ambition to make it the best Station on the whole of the Cambrian Coast Line 
 
Palm Trees
 
The Palm Trees have been taken off for their winter break.  They have done well again this year and we hope they will return in good health next year, making their 5th seasonal appearance.
 
If you would like to have your name on the tree for the remaining 1 years (2012), with the first option of renewing, then please call us now at 01341 280588 or 01341 280611. 
 
Weather Station
 
The top of the range Weather Station that we donated to the Town Council has been set up on the Harbour Masters Office on the Harbour and is available for viewong online.
 
 This new Precision Weather Station is the ultimate in weather monitoring, with coverage of Baromic Pressure, Humidity and Dew Point, Rainfall, Temperature, Apparant Temperature Index, Wind Speed and Direction, Wind Chill, UV Radiation and Solar Radiation.

 Green Gym
 
We have looked into the possibility of forming a "Green Gym Fitness Trail" along the Promenade, that will go from one end to another, but have hit a brick wall as correspondences have not been received.
 
Although we feel this has many benefits for the people of the town and the visitors, it has been increasingly difficult to get answers to our questions in order to investigate it further.
 
We will pursue it in time, however at this point we will be concentrating on other projects for the town.
 

 Volunteers

 
If you would like to help on some of the projects or in general, please go to Dave Morris at L & L DIY Centre in Barmouth, where you can be put in his little book for when the big work begins.
 
The Bench Project
 
Gwynedd Council have now filled the remaining spaces down towards the Harbour and we are really appreciative of their support. 
 
Phillip Cousins has been very kind and helpful in this matter, and it is his team's hard work that has enabled us to complete this first phase of the Bench Project.
 
We intend then to carry on northwards along the Promenade as long as we can get sponsorship for the Benches.
   
Like the Palm Trees,  sponsorship for businesses or individuals will be  £500 for 5 years. we have now decided to give another offer to go along side this.  You can now sponsor the bench for £750 for 10 years. 
 
Also we can offer a yearly payment of £100 for both the Benches and Palm Trees.
 

 
Please contact us if you wish to join this project and help improve our wonderful town.  You can sponsor any one of the benches for a lost loved one, a present loved one, or for your businesses.
 
We would really appreciate your support on this project which again will add to the beauty of our town.
