Conwy Council proposes school consolidation following a 5% education budget cut.

Conwy Council in North Wales is initiating a public consultation to propose the amalgamation of four schools into two and manage two others under a single leadership, following a 5% cut in education budgets. The plan aims to sustain small rural schools amid financial challenges. However, concerns have been raised about the lack of information regarding a shelved £31.5 million new school building for Ysgol Glan Gele and Ysgol Sant Elfod, which was rejected for funding by the Welsh Government.
