Questions raised on former civic centre

AN OLD Colwyn councillor questioned how a Grade II-listed building sold by the council had been allowed to remain derelict, only to be told officers would answer questions behind closed doors.

At a finance and resources overview and scrutiny committee meeting this week, Cllr David Carr asked officers what was happening with the Civic Centre in Colwyn Bay.

In July, councillors said they were “appalled” at the condition of Colwyn Bay's historic Grade-II listed Civic Centre after a hotel redevelopment failed to materialise.

Council staff vacated the building in 2018, and part of the land was sold in August 2021 for a housing development.
