Kid messing about, no doubt. There are always a few clambering over it when I go past.

Firefighters have been dealing with a blaze on a wooden fishing boat in Conwy.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said three appliances were dealing with the incident on the 40ft (12m) vessel at about 17:30 GMT.

The boat involved is believed to be an abandoned trawler. The cause of the blaze has not been confirmed.

Holyhead coastguards said the Llandudno RNLI lifeboat was also called to the incident.

The fire service said crews were dampening down after the initial blaze.

After walking along Conwy Quay today, I think a 'Maritime Eyesores' section may be needed!  ???
