A five-day road closure in Penmachno has been postponed.

Conwy County Borough Council and SP Energy had planned to close the B4406, the main road into Penmachno.

However, after being informed of the plan, Janet Finch-Saunders, member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy, sent an urgent letter to Rhun ap Gareth, chief executive of the council.

Ms Finch-Saunders said: "I would like to thank residents in Penmachno and Cwm Penmachno who have rightly raised serious concerns about the planned closure of the B4406.

"To expect residents to use the steep and narrow road over the Migneint, and make a massive detour to the Conwy Valley via Blaenau Ffestiniog or Ysbyty Ifan is unreasonable.

"It is unacceptable that a decision of this magnitude was made without any prior notice or consultation with the local residents and stakeholders so I wrote to the Chief Executive of the Local Authority.

"I am pleased that discussions are now being held between SP Energy and Bro Machno Community Council."
