## PENRHYN BAY COMMUNITY LIBRARY GROUP 

Chair’s annual report 2024/25 

The trustees details for the year are unchanged. 

It was pleasing to note that visitor numbers to our Library are now back to pre-covid levels. Out of hours bookings and usage remain steady. 

Professional staffing from Conwy County Borough’s Library Service has been maintained. The presence of knowledgeable staff is of great importance to our Library users. We have received many compliments about how inviting our building and garden are and it is clear that they are both important social assets. 

Llandudno Town Council has continued to support us financially for which we are deeply grateful. 

As ever our appreciation goes to our excellent library staff. Their helpfulness and cheerfulness are the mainstays of our Library service

## GAS AND ELECTRICITY 

IN NOVEMBER 2024 WE CHANGED PROVIDER FROM UTILITY WAREHOUSE TO BRITISH GAS LITE. THIS HAS PROVED PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE ELECTRICITY METERS. DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS WE HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING FOR THE ELECTRICITY USAGE FOR TWO OF THE METERS. AS AT 17.04.2025 WE HAVE A DEDICATED COMPLAINTS HANDLER AT BRITISH GAS AND THE MATTER SHOULD BE RESOLVED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE ELECTRICITY BILL FOR 2024/25 IS, THEREFORE, SKEWED AS WILL THE BILL BE FOR 2025/26. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS BILL.
