A COUPLE of promenade shelters have been replaced along Llandudno?s North Shore beach. ref pioneer
Conwy County Borough Council secured funding for this project via Welsh Government?s Brilliant Basics Scheme in late 2022.
The project has seen two of the seven shelters on North Shore?s promenade replaced; opposite the St George?s Hotel, and next to the paddling pool in Craig Y Don.
A council spokesperson confirmed that construction of the new shelters has been completed, and that contractors took down the barriers last Wednesday (April 5).
In the future, it is hoped that smart elements can be added to the structures in the form of solar PV and laptop and mobile phone charging points.
The old shelters were in poor condition, and without action, could have been at risk of closure in the future.
The new structures have maintained the old Victorian design and continue to offer seating and shelter, with ample opportunity to enjoy the views across Llandudno Bay.
?This project will contribute towards ongoing regeneration so Llandudno continues to thrive as a destination.?
Conwy County Borough Council is hoping to attract further investment to complete the replacement of the remaining five shelters.
