Welsh-language school development in Conwy gets the green light 

26 - 06 - 2023

A Welsh-language secondary school will be extended after Conwy’s planning committee granted permission for the building to be developed, despite fears about parking. Construction of a two-storey extension will now go ahead at Ysgol y Creuddyn on Derwen Lane in Penrhyn Bay.

The plans for three new classrooms, toilets, storerooms, and five new car parking spaces were granted by Conwy ’s planning committee. New external doors will also be constructed leading to the existing toilets.

But speaking at the planning meeting at Bodlondeb, Cllr Jo Nuttall said Derwen Lane already had too many cars parked on the stretch and questioned whether the development could include more car parking spaces. Ysgol y Creuddyn’s grounds are enclosed by residential properties to the north and east and Ysgol Glanwydden to the south on Derwen Lane, a primary school which also attracts traffic in the morning and afternoon finishing times.
