Understanding the Roles:

Llanfairfechan Town Council vs. Conwy County Borough Council

The Llanfairfechan Town Council is responsible for addressing the specific needs and interests of our local community. This may include managing/helping to manage 'place based' amenities such as parks, playgrounds, and community gardens, as well as organising town events and supporting local groups and initiatives. The Town Council plays a crucial role in representing the residents of Llanfairfechan on matters affecting the town, ensuring that local voices are heard in broader discussions. Additionally, the council handles minor maintenance tasks, such as the upkeep of footpaths and small-scale beautification projects, contributing to the overall quality of life in our town.

Town Council cannot block building planning secisions in the town, but can send in observations based on sonsultation and researdch to Conwy Councty Brorugh Council. Therefore, the town council plays a crucial role in representing the residents aof Llanfairfechan on matters affecting the town, ensuring that local voices are heard in broarder discussion.

On the other hand, Conwy County Borough Council has a broader scope of responsibilities that cover the entire county, including Llanfairfechan. This council manages significant public services such as education, transportation, social services, and waste management. They are also in charge of county-wide infrastructure projects, housing, and strategic planning. The County Council ensures that essential services are delivered efficiently across all towns and communities within the county, working on larger-scale projects and policies that impact a wider area. By working together, both councils strive to enhance the wellbeing and development of Llanfairfechan and its residents.
