Cash-strapped Conwy County Council is seeking to cut costs and close its town regeneration programmes whilst streamlining staff hours.
After increasing council tax by 9.9% and slashing front-line service budgets, including 5% from schools, Conwy is now planning to cut its town regeneration programmes.
The council committed to transforming Llandudno, Abergele, and Llanrwst town centres in July 2021 following COVID after hailing the BayLife Initiative regeneration project as a success.
The BayLife scheme was later renamed Colwyn Bay Town Centre Regeneration Programme, in line with the other three towns? schemes.
But Conwy will now seek to merge and streamline the work of the four programmes as part of local area forums, reducing the number of meetings and the duplication of work and making ?more effective use of staff resources?
The various regeneration programmes have focused on housing regeneration schemes, tourism and culture-led regeneration projects, and attracting businesses and workers.
