THE stormy weather in North Wales saw swells of crashing waves cause thousands of quarry rocks to end up on Llandudno’s North Shore promenade.

Large rocks were strewn across the pathway, covering its entire length and width.

A huge clean-up operation is now underway, with Conwy County Borough Council using tractors to bulldoze the rocks into piles.

The rocks are subsequently scooped up into a trailer and dumped back onto the beach.

Janet Finch-Saunders, Aberconwy MS, said: “In my many years of being a Llandudno resident I have never seen such destruction following a storm.

“If the beach had been returned to its sandy state, or better still not polluted in the first place, then this issue would simply have been avoided.

“The extensive operation now underway is completely ruining the otherwise tranquil and calm morning here today, with gigantic tractors scrapping their metal buckets along the concrete to remove the rocks.

“It is making an unbelievable racket, wasting vast amounts of diesel and costing, I assume, a considerable amount of taxpayers’ money.

“This is why I will continue to campaign to get the sand restored to Llandudno’s North Shore.

“As we can see, we not only need this for economic, health and cultural reasons but for the safety of the public as well.”
