Quarry rocks were piled on Llandudno's North Shore beach in 2014 to reduce flooding, but campaigners for a return to sand say the rocks are"dangerous" and a"blight on the landscape".Residents of Llandudno in North Wales want their beach restored to its former sandy state after 50,000 tonnes of rock was put there.
The rocks were deposited on North Shore beach by Conwy County Borough Council in 2014 with the aim of reducing flooding.The petition was started by Llandudno councillor Ian Turner and has now gained more than 10,300 signatures."Access for many is almost impossible, and dangerous if people try," the petition reads.The petition will be considered for debate by the Welsh Parliament's Petitions Committee after reaching the threshold of 10,000 signatures.
"One of the UK's leading destinations, and the queen of Welsh resorts deserves a sandy beach," she said. "With boulders on the beach, people are unable to enjoy using the foreshore like they used to. It is dangerous, and inaccessible to many."It said the cost was not justifiable when the same level of flood protection could be achieved for less than a third of the cost by raising the promenade wall.Related Topics
