CONWY County Borough Council is starting “investigation works” along Llandudno’s North Shore promenade this week as it plans future coastal defences.

The work is expected to finish before December, but may cause disruption to traffic and pedestrians in the meantime.

A council statement read: “Llandudno North Shore promenade: we’re starting investigation works this week which will help us design future coastal defence improvements.

“We’ll be working on the prom and road between the pier and the lifeboat station.

“This might cause some disruption to traffic and pedestrians – thank you for your patience.

“We expect to finish the work before December.”

Llandudno beach petition to be handed over after making 10K signatures

Earlier this month, a petition with more than 10,000 signatures demanding that sand be put back on North Shore beach was presented to Welsh Government.

That it surpassed this number makes the matter eligible for a Senedd debate.

In August 2022, Welsh Government rejected Conwy County Borough Council’s proposal for funding to see sand returned to North Shore.

According to a report, Welsh Government’s Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management branch (FCERM), stated that the return of sand to North Shore “does not appear to provide any additional flood risk management benefits”.

The council’s cabinet has agreed to support a non-sand flood defence option for North Shore.
