With one million tonnes of imported sand, the beach at Rhos-on-Sea fully reopened on April 6.

20,000 tonnes of rock has been reclaimed and recycled to add into the higher, wider fish tail groyne, and the seawall has been repaired and repointed.

Kerbs, footpaths and highway drainage are still being installed on the promenade.
