Important Information regarding CCBC Services
On Monday 11th of March, Penmaenmawr Town Council (PTC) received confirmation from Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) that a number of services provided by CCBC are being removed or changed due to the ongoing financial pressures faced by the Local Authority. PTC is aware that all councils across the UK are facing even greater pressures this year due in part to the outdated Barnett formula used by Westminster to allocate money. This is then further allocated by Welsh Government to local authorities across Wales, and this year Conwy and Gwynedd received just 2% from Welsh Government – the lowest settlement of all 22 Welsh councils.
Not surprisingly, CCBC has had to try and balance the books, deliver statutory services and support our most vulnerable residents while every CCBC service has to find significant financial savings for 2024/25, including Environment, Roads and Facilities. One of the services affected is our Community Skip.
So, as part of our long term forward planning, PTC is working to counter some of the anticipated service cuts by CCBC, and we’ve started negotiations with a number of private skip providers. At this point, work is being finalised with a view to providing skips as frequently as possible. Please follow the Town Council website and social media platforms for further updates – including the next dates for skips arranged by your Town Council to mitigate CCBC cuts.
Dwygyfylchi Bowls Club
Dwygyfylchi Bowling Club have been able to buy 10 sets of Junior Bowls after a successful grant application to Penmaenmawr Town Council.
The Club has a good number of adult members but is hoping to interest younger players in taking up the sport. The Bowling Club have contacted both local primary schools, Pencae and Capelulo and hope to see their pupils at the green, when the weather improves, to introduce them to the game of bowls.
Dwygyfylchi has a rich history of bringing local juniors into the game, with many of them going on to represent Wales at under 18’s. The purchase of these new bowls, 4 colours in 3 different, smaller sizes, are especially popular with younger players, instead of the standard black.
A club member said “ I think the best endorsement for bowls is that it doesn’t matter how old you are or what gender, once you step onto the green, everyone is equal. In the next few weeks we expect to have at least 6 members trained up to basic level coach, all of whom will have DBS certification”.
Everyone is welcome to come to Dwygyfylchi Bowling Club for a taster session. If you’re interested in having a go, you can contact them at info.dwygyfylchibowlingclub@gmail.com

Supporting Penmaenmawr Bowling Club
Penmaenmawr Town Council are supporting Penmaenmawr Bowling Club, the local Crown Green club that has produced national champion players in the last few years. Current members, of all ages and abilities, meet regularly to play against each other, or to compete in local leagues. Players recognise the benefits to physical and mental health, and the opportunity to socialize and meet new people. Penmaenmawr Town Council have awarded a grant of £500 for running costs and green maintenance. Club Secretary Keith Williams said
“The club provides the town with an attractive tourist facility and actively encourages juniors, senior citizens and people with disability to participate in sport. We have a strong lady’s section and have developed some amazing young players over the years.”
The club is open to members and non-members so if you feel like having a try call in at the club, which is opposite the entrance to the Prom.
The Photograph shows Penmaenmawr Mayor, Councillor Steven Consterdine presenting the cheque to Club President, Bill Starr.
