NEEDLES were seen among storm debris on a walkway in Rhos-on-Sea.

A walker spied two syringes in the debris on the morning of April 10. 

Plastic bottles and beer and drink cans were also spied among the waste.

The North Wales coast was battered by very strong winds and high tides on Tuesday, April 9; a yellow weather warning for wind was in force between 1am and 3pm. 

Martin Davies posted on Rhos on Sea community group on social media: "I’ve just got back from one of my regular morning walks, the lower promenade/ walkway along Marine Drive from Abbey Road to the Golf Course is covered with after the storm debris and litter.
