"A pilot scheme of the e-bicycles involved 500 local youngsters, last year, and showed overweight children struggled to ride up hills using traditional bicycles."

No kidding. That's an excellent reason to get those children onto pedal powered bicycles and exercise.

"Conwy Council was asked to match-fund £5,000 already provided by the Youth Cycling Project - an external source - for five e-bikes, after the pilot scheme with a local school.

If the bid is successful, the money will be provided by European funding, who've already given £8.3million to projects across the Conwy region since 2000."

Sounds like an ongoing project. I wonder how much it'll cost before it ends?

"The council is already under fire for committing £58million of taxpayers' money on rent for its brand new headquarters in Colwyn Bay over the next 40 years.

While at the same time the local authority has cut bin collections to just once a month.

Sounds like a typical bureaucracy that's out of touch with what the people want/need.
