Gritting
The weather continues to be exceptionally severe and the winter maintenance crews have been working round the clock to keep the main network open.
At the start of the season we had 10,500 tonnes of salt in stock, we currently have 3,800 tonnes.
Over the Christmas weekend, the winter maintenance teams will continue to treat primary routes and respond to requests from Emergency Services, Social Services and Animal Health (in relation to serious animal welfare matters).
The public are advised to note the conditions and take extra care.
Bin and Recycling Collections
The crews are back on the road today (Thursday 23rd December), collecting refuse and recycling from all areas that have been safe to access, given the weather conditions. Unfortunately many side roads, hills and inland areas are still inaccessible with our 18-tonne refuse and recycling vehicles.
Conwy Council will reassess the travel conditions daily and every effort will be made to resume scheduled collections in areas that are clear of snow and ice. They will also be using additional resources to collect from areas that have been missed.
If you have been affected, please leave out your recycling containers and refuse bin for our crew to collect when practical to do so on Friday 24th December and from Monday 27th December. There will be no collections on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. We appreciate the inconvenience that this causes to residents, and are grateful for your patience.
The recycling centres in Mochdre and Abergele are open to the public every day, apart from Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
