Concerns have been raised over proposed changes to parking and traffic arrangements in Llandudno and Craig-y-Don, with a local Senedd Member warning the plans could have a major impact on residents, visitors and businesses.

Janet Finch-Saunders MS has criticised the scale of Conwy County Borough Council’s proposed parking and traffic restrictions, which include the introduction of extensive new double yellow lines, overnight motorhome parking restrictions, changes to loading arrangements and a new one-way system on Trinity Avenue.

The proposals are currently open to public consultation, with residents and businesses able to submit their views until 28 August.

Janet Finch-Saunders, Senedd Member for Bangor Conwy Môn, said she understood why many people were concerned about the potential impact of the changes.

“I am extremely concerned by the scale of these proposed restrictions and understand why many residents and businesses are worried about the potential impact they could have on everyday life in Llandudno,” she said.

“While I recognise the need to improve road safety where there is clear evidence, any changes must be proportionate and properly justified.

“Measures of this scale risk creating unnecessary difficulties for residents, affecting local businesses and making it harder for people to access the town.”

She encouraged those affected by the plans to take part in the consultation process and make their views known before any decisions are finalised.

“It is vital that the Council listens carefully to local people and is prepared to reconsider any proposals that do not have community support,” she added.

Conwy County Borough Council’s consultation remains open until 28 August, giving residents, businesses and visitors the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes.

The council has been approached for comment.
