Occasionally at night, if the weather’s bad when she walks her dog along the waterfront, Georgina Salt admits feeling a little “frisson” at the vulnerability of her exposed Welsh village.
In 2013, Gwynedd Council adopted proposals in the region’s latest Shoreline Management Plan to stop maintaining the village’s flood defences and relocate its residents in 40 to 50 years. Meanwhile, Gwynedd Council has faced persistent criticism for failing to detail its relocation plans, with frustrated locals left feeling they were unfairly singled out.“We weren’t told where we were going to live… how people with jobs will find new jobs,” said retiree Angela Thomas.
“There’s many villages… around the coast of Great Britain that will also be in the same predicament,” said Stuart Eves, another local councillor who also runs a campsite. External consultants have been chosen to review the latest evidence, residents claim — though the Welsh government has not confirmed as much.
