Councillors in the Welsh village of Llanddulas are calling for a clean-up of the local beach, which could benefit caravanners heading to the area.
Speaking to the North Wales Weekly News, councillor Brenda Taylor said the village’s tourism trade is suffering because the beach is a “bomb site”.
“Whilst we are the victims of extensive tides and bad weather every year it just seems we go from bad to worse,” she remarked.
“We’ve got several caravan sites along that coast and we don’t even provide a decent beach.”
Ms Taylor pointed out that millions are being spent on improving the beaches and promenades at nearby Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea, yet the work does not extend as far as Llanddulas.
She stressed that the coastline does not end at Colwyn Bay and called for capital investment to improve the beaches, walkways and sea defences.
Gwynedd Webb, owner of the Plas Newydd Caravan Park in Llanddulas, said the beach is a major attraction for visitors to her site.
“It would be lovely if they could bring back the sand to Llanddulas beach,” she remarked.
“There is a lot of stones being washed up there, for what reason I’m not sure, but when you see the sand at Rhos-on-Sea, it would be great to see something like that done in Llanddulas.”
