The Assembly Member for Aberconwy has today welcomed the news that the wrecked boat – the Grey Lady – lying on a Conwy beach, is to be removed.

Janet said: “Following representations to Conwy County Borough Council, I am delighted that my interventions have resulted in the forthcoming removal of the ‘Grey Lady’ – an abandoned boat on the sand at Conwy.

“The wreck has been something of an eyesore to residents and tourists, and is a potential target for arson, with a number of incidents being witnessed over the years. I have been concerned at the vulnerability this has posed to local properties, and am pleased to understand that removal of this boat will commence this month.

“I know a number of local residents will be thrilled by this news, and I look forward to process being completed so that we are able to once again enjoy a clean and safe beach.”
