Paddling Pool Delayed Opening
The announcement from Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC), that the four paddling pools in Conwy which includes the one in Penmaenmawr will not be opening as usual in May is not the news that the Town Council wanted to hear but must accept.
We have been working closely with CCBC Officers as they have tried to find a company to apply specialist anti-slip coating to the surfaces. Unfortunately circumstances outside of their control have worked against them and this is affecting the opening dates.
Cllr Chris Williams, Town Mayor, said “After having been instrumental in the refurbishment of The Prom area the Town Council is saddened to hear that this popular facility is facing a delayed opening. We will work closely with our fellow County Councillors to address the problem and have it re-opened as soon as possible.”
CCBC is providing other family entertainment during the Summer and information on a wide range of free activities for families, can be found on its Ffit Conwy Play Development Facebook page; Conwy Community Wellbeing Team Facebook page; Venue Cymru website and Creu Conwy website.
For further information please contact Penmaenmawr Town Council on 01492 623221 or email clerk@penmaenmawr.org.
