Llandudno’s Overflowing Bins Set Off Dispute Over Cuts and Holiday Cover

Opposition councillors challenge the council's stance by citing service cuts.

Overview

  • Residents reported overflowing public bins across several Llandudno streets after Christmas week, describing the mess and dog-waste bags as a health hazard.
  • Conwy County Council said open-spaces crews were on duty between Christmas and New Year, including weekend shifts from 7am to 3pm.
