Conwy: Llysfaen free school bus axed with pavement safety concern

Parents have criticised council officials for cutting a free bus service for secondary school pupils serving their village, claiming children will be forced to use roads without pavements.

Conwy council axed the service between Ysgol Bryn Elian, Old Colwyn, to the community of Llysfaen as part of budget cuts.

It provides free transport for children living more than three miles (4.8km) away from their school, but those who live closer must pay or find their own way.

But parents of some pupils have said although Llysfaen is about 2.8 miles (4.5km) from Bryn Elian, a free bus has been provided “for as long as anyone can remember”.

Councillor Julie Fallon, the cabinet member for education, said the route had been reassessed and was “no longer classed as hazardous”.
