THE true extent of work to be done on Kinmel Hall has been laid bare just days before it is due to be sold. In an open letter to Conwy Council, the Friends of Kinmel Hall and the people of Wales , Peter Hare Independent Consultants (PHIC s) said a disgraceful lack of maintenance appears to be the main issue creating the majority of the advanced decay. The assessment, led by Peter Hare, also revealed the roof of the Grade I listed property is hanging by a thread in some areas and if left to deteriorate for another year, greater areas of historic fabric will be lost.

The future of a north Wales mansion, dubbed the Welsh Versailles, is at risk if more is not done to preserve it, campaigners have warned.
Kinmel Hall, near Abergele, Conwy, was built in the 1870s, and is believed to be Wales largest country home.
The Friends of Kinmel Hall said enforcement was needed to stop the now-empty building becoming derelict.
Conwy council said owner, Acer Properties Ltd BVI s, has pledged to spend money on the repairs.
The council said the pledge made by Acer Properties, which has owned the Grade I listed hall for the past 10 years, means it did not think enforcement action was needed at this time.
