Town flood defence project nears completion

ABERAERON'S multi-million-pound coastal defence scheme is nearing completion - but Ceredigion council could be facing a significant overspend on its contribution to the project.
The £31.59m Aberaeron Coastal Defence Scheme, funded through the Welsh Government's Coastal Risk Management Programme and supplemented by a £4.74m contribution from Ceredigion council itself, includes a range of measures designed to protect the area from coastal erosion and flooding.
These include the construction of a rock breakwater extending out from North Pier, refurbishment and rebuilding of the pierhead of South Pier, construction of flood walls, a flood gate at Pwll Cam inner harbour, and improvements to the existing defences on South Beach.
The scheme was given the green light at the February 2023 meeting of Ceredigion County Council’s development management committee, with BAM Nuttall Ltd appointed as the construction contractors.
