That's a bit of a tricky one, Hugo, as how much of the work is carried out under the guise of normal street cleaning? I suspect they would say that no breakdown of the work carried out is kept.
I thought I'd have a try and send an e-mail asking for a breakdown of the cost of sand clearance on the West Shore:-
Dear Sir or Madam,
Is it possible to say how much money is spent on the cost of sand clearance on the West Shore Llandudno. That is the cost of clearing the sand from the Promenade, pond, lake etc without the cost to clearing any from the public roads in that area.
This is the reply I have received:-
Dear Mr Hughes
With regards to your enquiry re the cost of sand clearance at West Shore, Environmental Services advise that over the last three years an average of £2000 per annum has been spent.
If for whatever reason you are unhappy with the response please contact us direct by e-mail or by post addressed to Conwy County Borough Council, Information Regulations Unit, Bodlondeb, Conwy, LL32 8DU
With the cost of Lorries,diggers and machinery as well as labour all I can say about the reply is that I'm glad that I'm not the CCBC's auditor!
