Welcome to our beautiful village. The aim of this site is promote our village and at the same time be a useful resource for those of us who are lucky enough to live here.
Feel free to “stroll” through the village, as it was one sunny day last summer. This view is from the Gowers road looking towards the Woollen Mill.

Extra Ordinary Meeting to discuss the traffic calming in Trefriw.
A New plan to be debated that has the backing of all those at Fridays meeting.
The Council wish to hear the opinion of the residents of Trefriw, in addition to that of the Community Council.
As many people as possible to come to the meeting please. Your last chance to have your say.
There was a good turnout and there were 87 written responses. The majority of people chose Option 1, which provided a zebra crossing outside the school and retained all the existing parking spaces. However, it would require the southbound bus stop to be moved to a site outside the Fairy Falls Hotel.
The Community Council considered the results of the consultation on December 6th and endorsed Option 1 because the majority of people had chosen it. They acknowledged however, that if the road safety assessment found that the proposed new location for the bus stop was not acceptable then Option 1 could not go ahead.
Road safety experts have now completed an assessment and have rejected the proposed site for the bus stop. Highways engineers are now working on a simplified plan to present to Trefriw Community Council as soon as possible to ensure the Welsh Government funding is used before the deadline of April 2012.
The Councillors are very keen that Trefriw gets a safe crossing place for the children and older people, and are working hard to achieve it.

SAFER ROUTES IN COMMUNITIES
TREFRIW COMMUNITY TRAVEL PLAN
Over the years, many petitions and letters sent to Conwy Council Highways Department have requested a crossing and footpath near the mill and school.
In 2008, the community held a Village Appraisal Day and some of the road safety issues highlighted were:
• Need for pedestrian crossing near to the school
• Traffic calming in the village in general and by the school in particular.
In February 2010, Trefriw Community Council sent a letter to Conwy Council urging them to consider a crossing and to reduce the speed limit outside the school.
In April 2010 the Trefriw Community Travel Plan committee, consisting of our County Councillor and representatives of the school, older people and Trefriw Community Council, came together to work on solutions to these problems.
The committee worked with local residents and conducted a household survey to discover what road safety improvements were wanted.
In July 2010, a public event asked the community their top three priorities and the result was:
1. Pelican crossing for community near school
2. Pedestrian crossing by village hall
3. Improvements to Trefriw – Llanrwst link: Gowers Road
A bid for money to carry out the improvements went to the Welsh Assembly Government last autumn and was successful.
The plans for the road safety improvements will be available to see at an exhibition in the
Village Hall, Trefriw, on 8th October 2011
from 10am to 12 noon.
