The turf will be the foundation for the new layers of sand!  :twoface:

Surely there must be a serious drainage problem building up here with all the sand going down the grids.
Or are they waiting for the next heavy rainstorm and hope that will clear it all.

My OH has just returned that way and has seen men with shovels and a digger attacking the 'dune'. As for drainage I hope the sand hasn't got into the sewage system there or we shall all be in  a mess!! :o

Penmorfa site seems to have been taken over by Costain.

Elsewhere the new turf is almost finished.

Looks better, but how long before all that turf is buried under sand?

I'm told its costing £1,700 a day to sort the sand out... Surely if you live in a seaside resort/town your going to come across some sand.. To live on a beach front I'm afraid your going to get sand.. I actually can believe that SAND makes the front page of the local newspaper.. I'm sure people of llandudno would rather this money be spent elsewhere..

Yes but years ago they did not have all that sand blowing in there like they have now.

I enjoyed a walk with my dog on the windy West Shore today.    Following the recent storms there was a lot of debris on the promenade by the sea wall including large rocks and a very large tree trunk.
That tree trunk would keep a wood burner going for the rest of the Winter.

I saw the tree trunk the other day,  however when Dave R and I were down at West Shore yesterday, there was an ENTIRE STAIRCASE being tossed about in the waves, as it if were a twig.

Given the wind direction over the past month, that's probably come up from the South - what you might call a stairway to Devon...

I had a walk in the Winter sunshine along the West Shore today and it was nice to see so many people out enjoying themselves in the break from the atrocious weather we have been having,
There was no wind at all and the Yachting Lake had been emptied and a solitary Swan was sitting on the concrete floor of the lake :(
There was a lot of water flowing through the lake from the Penmorfa Adit which is to be expected from the amount of rain we have been having recently,
