One-way promenade plan for top North Wales seaside resort sparks debate
Some residents argue the scheme is a 'waste of money' - but business owners say they will give the prom a 'new lease of life'
The main promenade road at a top North Wales resort will be made one-way as part of a multi-million pound waterfront development - but some are not happy about it.
Residents have taken to Facebook to air their concerns regarding the developments with some saying the scheme is 'a waste of money' and will cause 'major traffic issues within the area'.
Meanwhile, business owners praised the planned upgrades, saying they are set to bring the promenade 'a new lease of life'.
Feedback is currently being invited on the plans to reduced the Rhos on Sea promenade road along the bottom of the Cayley Embankment to one lane of traffic, heading towards Colwyn Bay whilst the Cayley Promenade road will remain two-way.
If given the go ahead, footpaths would be widened on the promenade for cyclists and pedestrians with the existing outdated kiosks on West Promenade being removed.
The move is being considered to fall in line with the current Colwyn Bay Waterfront upgrade scheme and will move the work into Phase 2B of the improvements.
