  • (The Cardiff to Glan Conwy Trunk Road (A470) Penloyn to Tan Lan Improvement) Compusory Purchase Order 200
    THE WELSH MINISTERS (THE CARDIFF TO GLAN CONWY TRUNK ROAD (A470) PENLOYN TO TAN LAN IMPROVEMENT) COMPUSORY PURCHASE ORDER 200- STATEMENT OF REASONS BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ORDER LAND The proposed improvement scheme is located to the north of Llanrwst and consists of a partially on-line and partially off-line improvement to upgrade the existing trunk road, together with the provision of a cycleway/footway and verges. The proposed improvement scheme will generally involve the acquisition of land to the west of the existing trunk road. This land comprises of the Afon Conwy valley, which is mainly in agricultural use. The Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) concludes that the land in the area comprises generally of Grade 3a “good” quality with areas of Grade 3b “moderate” quality land associated with streams or where drainage has been impeded by the railway line. The land is capable of producing moderate to high yields of a limited range of crops including vegetables, but there is a risk of poor yields in wet years when the ground is likely to be unworkable for long periods. The bulk of the land is in permanent grassland use and grazed by sheep and cattle, but a number of fields at Tyn Ddol are used in rotation for crops and support vegetables for human consumption at times. The productive grasslands of the floodplain are favoured for hay and silage and are also used extensively as high quality grazing. The main area of non-agricultural private property is located at Tan Lan Crossing where there is a complex land assembly with a number of registered owners.

It follows a deep, fault-guided, glacial valley and contains significant flood plain and estuary areas. The upper (southern-most) section has a strong sense of containment by rising land, especially from the steep wooded slopes of Snowdonia to the west, from which a number of small rivers issue down tumbling gorges.

  • School Transport – Daily Bus Service
    School Transport – daily bus service The service uses school minibuses driven by trained drivers who are school employees. All bus routes are managed by Rydal Penrhos and should you have any queries regarding the bus routes, pick up location and times, please contact the Transport Manager, Mr. Phil Hilton during usual office hours. Parents are asked to commit to a term's travel, providing one term's notice of withdrawal from the scheme, and are asked to commit to full weeks of travel, rather than random days. Minimum usage of the service is five trips per week, anything over this will be charged as a full day rate. The only exception to this will be for weekly boarders. Due to the timings and possible traffic congestion in the mornings, drivers will not be able to wait at the pick-up points, beyond the time stated. Parents are asked to appreciate that the services will be run subject to reasonable demand and that, with due notice, changes may be made. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis. Subject to availability, if a pupil would like a friend to accompany them on the bus, they must submit a written request to Mr. Hilton at least 48 hours prior to travel, and a charge will apply. There can be no refund for any days when a child does not use the minibus, for whatever reason. For the Autumn Term, new parents to the service are asked to forward the booking form and the charge will be added to the termly fee invoice a term in advance.
