Colwyn
Bay
Colwyn Bay is a town and seaside resort in Conwy county
borough on the North Wales coast. The A55 road passes
through the town, running parallel to the North Wales
Coast Line.
The
town is served by Colwyn Bay railway station.
Prior
to local government reorganisation on 1 April 1974 Colwyn
Bay was a municipal borough with a population of c.
25,000, but in 1974 this designation disappeared leaving
five separate parishes, known as communities in Wales.
In the 2001 Census the community of Colwyn Bay contained
just 9,742 people, with the others as follows: Mochdre
(1,862), Rhos-on-Sea (7,110), Old Colwyn (7,626) and
Llysfaen (2,652). This gives a total figure for the
five communities of 28,992, generally referred to as
the population of Colwyn Bay.
