WORK to clear an outfall on the coast of Penrhyn Bay in Conwy has taken place.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has cleared the Afon Ganol’s east outfall at Penrhyn Bay.

The outfall can become obstructed with beach material during periods of low rainfall and subsequent low river flows.

Staff used an excavator to clear the outfall, preventing the river backing up which could increase the likelihood of flooding.

NRW will continue to monitor the site and carry out further clearance work when required as part of its routine asset maintenance.
