Representation Summary:


When we came to Old Colwyn fourteen years ago it was a pleasant village. It is now equivalent to a large town, choked by traffic and uncomfortably full of people. My partner and I find it increasingly difficult to get appointments at our health centre, and the bus service has become increasingly irregular with sometimes a wait of over half an hour before any bus turns up. When it does the bus is often over packed with passengers, with old people like my partner and myself having to stand for long periods.

Our response:

Noted - The concerns are recognised and will be addressed through various measures put in place during the planning process, for example following the recommendations of Transport Assessments as agreed with the Council's Highways officers, the provision of monies from developers towards schools where this is needed and land for a satellite surgery subject to the Healthboard's approval. Arriva have been involved in providing comments to us in terms of the proximity of the bus network.
