Taken from conwy.gov.uk. Checked 8 Aug 2026 (PH pages headed "fees as of 11 September 2024"; the HC driver table carries no date). Fees change, so confirm with the council before you budget around them. Drivers spot changes before I do, so if something here is wrong please say and I'll check it against the council and fix it.
