Council points to roundabout issue as a cause of negative media

... BUT SOME MEMBERS AREN'T CONVINCED IT’S A MAIN REASON

- By RICHARD EVANS Local Democracy Reporter

THE removal of English flags painted on roundabouts in North Wales is partly responsible for generating negative media publicity, a council has claimed.

Conwy County Council’s finance and resources overview scrutiny committee was set to meet at the council’s Coed Pella HQ yesterday.

The committee was to be presented with a self-assessment of the council’s performance, reviewing how the authority has done between April and September 2025.

The document scores the council as green, amber, or red in terms of how it is performing, with green indicating things are going well, amber indicating they are within tolerance, and red highlighting a problem.
