RETHINK CALLS REJECTED DESPITE LACK OF FACILITIES

- By RICHARD EVANS Local Democracy Reporter richard.evans@reachplc.com

AN Old Colwyn councillor has slammed Conwy Council for sticking by its decision to introduce parking charges on the promenade.

The council will now charge motorists on the stretch between 'The Arches' and 'Rotary Way'.

Councillors claimed the decision will affect those exercising, the elderly and the disabled. Cllr Cheryl Carlisle said: "We put forward a very good and detailed case of why this very small section of Old Colwyn Promenade was not suitable for charging as it was used by local people, always has been.

"There are no toilets, no kiosks, no amenities there, and yet they see fit to charge. But yet for other areas, for example Porth Eirias, they don't charge. Exercise people park there and especially elderly people.

"They take a flask and a little walk along to look at the sea. It has never been a tourist area at all. It is used by locals. It has been a local area as far back as we can remember."
