A COUNCIL has been served with three improvement notices by the health and safety executive after an elderly lady was killed in Llandudno by a recycling truck.
Emergency services were called to the town’s Marble Arch off Brookes Street after a fatality on the morning of 1 September 2025.
Ms Daphne Stallard was described as a “bright shining light of love” who cared for people of all ages.
The 89-year-old died at the scene of the incident. Ms Stallard was the mother of Mary Stallard, Bishop of Llandaff and a former Assistant Bishop of Bangor.
But the health and safety executive has now served three notices to Conwy County Council.
The served Improvement Notice reads: “You have failed to produce a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for the Llandudno trade waste (recycling) route, that included collections from Marble Arch, which was the scene of a fatal incident on 1 September 2025.”
A second connected notice reads: “You have failed to conduct effective planning and organisation arrangements, to enable the completion of suitable and sufficient risk assessments, for trade waste collections.”
And a third reads: “You have failed to conduct effective planning, organisation, and monitoring arrangements, to ensure that waste operatives are following relevant risk-assessment control measures and safe systems of work.”
The council was contacted for comment.
