Conwy County Borough Council have updated information regarding the state of public services as of today (Saturday 21st March). All lesiure centres and libraries in Conwy have now closed.
Schools
If you are a key worker and are not able to arrange childcare for your children, Conwy Council’s schools will offer this to you from Tuesday.
We must insist that if you are a keyworker and are able to provide alternative childcare provision for your children that you do this. For example, if only one parent is a key worker and another is at home, or not working that day, then you keep your child at home rather than send them to school.
A comprehensive list of key workers can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision/guidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision
Information about school closures and exam cancellations at: https://www.conwy.gov.uk/en/Resident/School-Closures-and-Cancellation-of-Examinations.aspx
If your child has free school meals, lunches will be provided for them from Tuesday.
More information is expected to follow on Monday

We have been in contact with families and individuals affected to inform them of this change to usual service, and will review as the situation improves.
