| Also | When the council made this order in 2023 it said this stretch was being held back for more consultation, but the published order includes it. Conwy County Borough Council's dog order runs out around 20 October 2026. The council has consulted on a new order that keeps this rule, but we haven't seen it confirmed, so check signs on the day. |
