About

Mochdre is a ward situated directly south of the coastal town of Colwyn Bay, forming a distinct residential and industrial community within the Conwy county borough. The area is characterised by a mix of housing estates and significant commercial development, with the A55 North Wales Expressway running through its northern section. This major transport link shapes the ward, separating neighbourhoods and hosting several business parks that serve as a key local employment centre.

The ward includes the neighbourhood of Pabo, which holds historical significance as an early medieval cantref. Much of the land is low-lying and borders the Conwy estuary to the west, with areas prone to flooding. A notable local feature is the large, modern sewage treatment works operated by Dŵr Cymru, which processes waste for a wide surrounding region and is a major physical presence within the landscape.
