Safety fears leave swings at more than 15 Conwy playgrounds out of bounds

Kids wanting to use a playground in Conwy county might be left wondering why the swings are out of bounds.

It’s because more than 15 parks are undergoing safety checks as a precautionary measure.

Officers from Conwy Council have padlocked swings so that they can’t be used by children.
