A ROUNDABOUT in Llandudno is being cleared from "non-native cotoneaster shrubs". 

Roadworks started today (Monday, March 11) on the roundabout off Wormhout Way to allow the clearing operation to take place.

Works will last nearly two weeks; they are set to be completed on Friday, March 22. 

A spokesperson from Conwy County Borough Council said: "We're clearing roundabouts on Royal Welsh Way, Wormhout Way and Penrhyn Hill.
The roundabouts feature large non-native cotoneaster shrubs, which are a threat to our local limestone grasslands (with seeds carried by birds).

"We'll replace this with colourful perennial planting which will benefit native pollinators.

"To make sure the cotoneaster has been fully cleared, the roundabouts will be empty for a while, before we put in the new planting scheme in the autumn."

The work is being funded by Welsh Government's Local Places for Nature Fund.

The roundabout has exits for A470 Wormhout Way, Llanrhos, Conway Road and Craig-y-Don.
