The beach at Porth Eirias The cost for a controversial repair bill and internal works at a “jewel in the crown” attraction has reduced by almost £570,000 in under three weeks. The initial request for capital funds to repair the roof and change an area inside Colwyn Bay’s Porth Eirias attraction totalled £682,000. It transpired around £140,000 of the cash was to “reconfigure” underused learning space inside the building. The rest was to replace a faulty membrane in the roof which had been causing leaks since its opening in September 2013. In a report to the finance and resources scrutiny committee, it emerged leaving the leak was not an option because “eventually, the roof structure will fail” – and patch-up work was being conducted as necessary.
