URGENT PETITION TO RESTORE SAND ON LLANDUDNO BEACH: Fund the removal of quarry rocks and the restoration of sand and groynes to Llandudno North Shore.

By Don Hale

Petitions 

Fund the removal of quarry rocks and the restoration of sand and groynes to Llandudno North Shore.

In 2014 Conwy County Borough Council dumped a further 50,000 tonnes of oversized and untested quarry rocks onto North Shore. This action destroyed the beach. Access for many is almost impossible, and dangerous if people try. It's a blight on the landscape, and detrimental to our main economy Tourism.
