Keane's Coaches seeks new industrial base in Flintshire for rail relief services
What happened
Keane's Coaches submitted a planning application for a new steel-framed industrial building in Flintshire, located at the Manor Industrial Estate. The company is seeking this alternative operational base because its current site in Eryrys becomes inaccessible during severe winter weather, which prevents it from providing key services.

Why it matters
Keane's Coaches currently provides relief transport services for Transport for Wales and British Rail. The proposed development aims to ensure the continuity of this critical relief coach supply, mitigating operational risks associated with weather-related site closures.
