A COUNCIL has used a ‘No Deal’ Brexit food shortage fund to grant £9,000 to foodbanks in Conwy. Foodbanks in Penmaenmawr, Llanfairfechan, Conwy, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay replenished their stocks following the financial support in January. Conwy County Borough Council received £43,500 from the Welsh Government as part of its £1.2m scheme last year to prepare local authorities for food shortages in the event of a ‘No Deal , before an agreement between the UK and the EU was reached in December. Since April last year the council has granted £26,000 to foodbanks with more due before end of the financial year. Cllr Goronwy Edwards, Conwy’s cabinet member for economic development, said: “This is clearly a very challenging time for everybody, but no more so than for our most vulnerable residents.
