TRAFFIC bans are set to be enforced on two streets in a North Wales town. Conwy council has announced the plans for the roads in Colwyn Bay.

It is part of a Schools Street pilot, aimed at cutting air pollution near schools as well as making them safer.

For the pilot - which started yesterday for one street - the roads will close for around an hour at drop-off and pick up times.

There will be council officers on hand to enforce the traffic bans.

The first closure is on Combermere Road, used by pupils of public school Rydal Penrhos.

It will be blocked off from Queens Drive to its junction with Pwllychrochan Avenue.

The pilot will run on Mondays to Fridays until July4, with the road shut from 7.45am-9am and 3pm-4.30pm.
