Harbour may need new £50k patrol boat

CONWY County Council could face a bill of tens of thousands of pounds for the replacement of a harbour patrol boat.

Harbour Master Matthew Forbes told the council's harbour advisory committee that the council's patrol boat had failed to meet regulation standards for smaller commercial vessels.

Consequently, the council could face a substantial bill if the boat can't be modified to current standards, with funds coming out of reserves to pay for the vessel.
