Denbighshire Council Announces Further Planned Improvements for Rhyl Promenade
Work is due to begin on the next phase of improvements to Rhyl Promenade, with a programme of upgrades funded through the Coastal Defence project and the Shared Prosperity Transitional Year.
The project will be coordinated by Denbighshire County Council’s Streetscene department, which has already delivered a number of enhancements in the area. Recent upgrades, supported by Shared Prosperity funding, included the renovation of the four ponds along the seafront.
Following site surveys, the upcoming works will focus on tackling corrosion, repairing structures, and improving the visual appeal of key areas.
Coastal Defence Funded Works
-
Replacement of corroded rails and panels, repainted to match the existing scheme.
-
Treatment of the seagull structure, with corroded areas repaired and recoated with enhanced anti-corrosion protection.
-
Fresh painting of columns and rails near the Events Arena and Sealife Centre.
-
Seeding and landscaping along the sea defence wall to soften and improve the surrounding environment.
Shared Prosperity Funded Works
-
Upgrades to the curved seating shelter to address corrosion.
-
Removal of unsafe seating posts and roofing canopies, which have also been linked to antisocial behaviour. The area will remain as open seating only.
-
Repainting of decorative steel panels to complement recent painting works.
-
Repairs to coping stones in two damaged locations, with reinstatement or replacement as needed.
Councillor Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said:
“We are pleased to continue improvements along the Rhyl Promenade through the funding we have been able to access. This work will complement areas that have already undergone improvement through the direction of Streetscene to further enhance this important part of Rhyl.”
The programme of work is scheduled for completion ahead of the winter period.
