FEARS POTHOLES WILL STOP 999 VEHICLES REACHING HOUSES

floods in 2013-2014.

Mr Griffiths, who with Mayor of Towyn and Kinmel Bay Cllr Bill Darwin, has joined the newly-formed Sandy Cove Residents Association, said: “They will bring in plant to level some of the worst potholes on unmade roads so that basic access can be restored to people in this community.

He warned access prob- lems are chronic. Mr Griffiths said: “Vulnerable, disabled people on low incomes are living on 13 streets in almost a ghetto community.

“It’s a bizarre situation - in a busy town of Kinmel Bay, there’s basically a landlocked community.”

Cllr Darwin said: “It is not just the roads but also the sub standard living conditions, sewers, drains, lighting and social conditions.

“I have not asked Conwy Council for millions of pounds of help in solving this massive problem but to take a humanitarian interest and provide officer time.

“It needs the Welsh Government, Conwy Council, MPs, AMs, the town Council and resident association to meet and be determined to solve the problem and not ignore these residents any longer.

A Conwy Council spokeswoman said: “These issues have been ongoing for many years, Sandy Cove is unadopted, which means the roads are privately owned.”

A 2011 study found it could cost more than £5m to put Sandy Cove roads into a reasonable condition.

She added: “This has probably increased since then. Unfortunately, the Authority does not have the resources available to carry out such a project on private land.”
