Climate change and sea level rises could bring changes to Tanybwlch beach near Aberystwyth, it has been warned.

Ceredigion residents and visitors are invited to share their local knowledge of the area surrounding the beach with the council’s Conservation Team at a number of events around Aberystwyth this summer.

The team is carrying out a review of the stability of the shingle ridge and sea defences of the beach. The review is funded by Natural Resources Wales.

As part of the review, members of the public are invited to come along to have a look at the work done so far.

Cllr Rhodri Evans, the Cabinet member responsible for economy and regeneration and is also the council’s champion for biodiversity, said: “Tanybwlch beach is a popular destination for many people; whether that’s visitors walking the coastal path, residents taking their dogs for a daily walk or anyone wishing to take in the natural beauty of the reserve.

“It is important that local residents and users of the beach are aware of this review and the potential outcomes.

“So come along to one of the engagement events; your say and ideas together with all the information gathered will influence any proposals that may be made for the area.”

 The Conservation Team will be at the following events to listen to and talk to the public:

• Aberystwyth Show on 8 June

• Penparcau Carnival on 30 June

• Penparcau Community Hub on 6 July, from 1pm to 4pm

• Aberystwyth Fire Station, Trefechan on 9 July from 11am to 2pm

• Sea2Shore Festival on 11 August

If you’re unable to attend any of the events but would like to share your views, contact the Conservation Team on 01545 572142, email [email protected]
