Residents across Conwy County are being encouraged to have their say on the future of their communities as part of a major consultation aimed at shaping public services and improving local well-being.

Conwy County Borough Council and the Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board have launched two new surveys inviting people to share their views on life in the county, the challenges facing local communities and their priorities for the years ahead.

The feedback gathered will form part of a Well-being Assessment, a key piece of work that helps public bodies understand the needs of local people and identify areas where services can be improved. The assessment will help guide future decision-making and influence how organisations work together to support communities across the region.

Chief Executive of Conwy County Borough Council, Rhun ap Gareth, said local residents have a vital role to play in shaping future priorities.

“We want to work with our communities to help make them stronger and more resilient – and that starts with listening. By taking part in the survey, the people of Conwy County can help shape the future and influence the way we work. I’d like to encourage everyone to take part and share their views.”

The consultation forms part of the work of the Conwy and Denbighshire Public Services Board, which brings together organisations including local councils, health services, emergency services and other public sector partners. The board’s role is to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of communities by encouraging agencies to work collaboratively on shared priorities.

Under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act, Public Services Boards are required to assess the state of well-being in their areas and use that information to develop plans that address local needs and challenges. The latest surveys are designed to ensure residents’ voices are at the heart of that process.

The surveys are available in both English and Welsh and take around 10 minutes to complete. Responses are anonymous, and paper copies can be obtained from libraries throughout Conwy County as well as at Coed Pella. Alternative formats are also available on request.

The consultation is open now and closes on Friday, July 31, 2026.

Officials hope a strong response will provide a clear picture of what matters most to local people, helping to shape services and investment decisions that affect communities across Conwy County for years to come.
