Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 20 September 2017.
I’m very grateful for the investment that has gone into Colwyn Bay over the years in terms of affording that particular part of the coastline with greater levels of flood protection, but we’ve seen the damage that flooding from the sea can do when we look over the Atlantic as a result of those terrible storms that have wreaked havoc in the Caribbean and in the United States of America, and I don’t want a similar situation to happen here in north Wales, in Old Colwyn. You know that the waterfront there has flood defences that protect vital parts of the north Wales transport infrastructure. They’ve gone unattended to for far too long. There have been patchwork repairs that have been done over the years and we need some action in order to bring them up to scratch. What confidence do you have that we will see a plan and that we will see some work started on significant improvements on the Old Colwyn promenade within the next two years?
