THE OLD Colwyn promenade project is nearing completion, with the redevelopment slated to finish in 2024.

The county council said its contractors have finished 97 per cent of the new higher sea wall, with just 30 metres left to do.

Material has been added to raise the promenade level, and the raising and realignment of the road is "coming along", with more than 50 per cent now kerbed.

Electrical cabling has been installed for the new lighting, with lighting columns to be installed, along with road and promenade surfacing, to be completed in "the next few weeks".

A Conwy County Borough Council spokesperson said: "We expect this phase of the coastal defence work at Old Colwyn to be completed in early 2024."
