A POLITICIAN has requested a meeting with the National Trust as efforts are made to protect a historic landmark. Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) said it is having discussions with owners Acer Properties to carry out the work at the site which it acquired in 2011 with a plan to build a hotel. Campaign groups Friends of Kinmel Hall (FKH) and SAVE have called for action to be taken before it is too late. Darren Millar, MS for Clwyd West, said: “This magnificent property, known as the ‘Versaille of Wales’, was built in 1876 and is Wales’ largest country home. Kinmel Hall has been empty since 2001 and is now falling into a state of serious disrepair. The extent of the damage has led to the hall being identified as one of the top ten at risk Victorian and Edwardian buildings in the United Kingdom and the future of the building as a whole remains bleak and uncertain.
