00:00The Dyrdley storm hit hard in 2022.
00:06It also left a hole in Younis.
00:11Trigolion and Brystwyth had forgotten about the disaster
00:16ten years ago.
00:18For six years now, the Council has been supporting
00:23and providing possible plans to fix the town's border.
00:28The worst part is that it will tear the town apart.
00:32Today and tomorrow, people will come to the bandstand
00:35to learn more.
00:37The worst part is the financial situation in the sea.
00:40There are many more shops and shops in the area.
00:44Then there are two rock croynes in each corner
00:47just to keep the area in place.
00:49I've been a big fan of this disaster in Brystwyth
00:52in the past, and I was convinced that a simple change
00:55would raise the level of the sea.
00:58Now that there's a strong storm, it's obvious
01:01that a plan like this is needed to fix local businesses
01:06and improve life.
01:08So, are the local people happy with the plans?
01:12Brian lives half a mile from the sea.
01:15There's no regional area in the Dyrdley area.
01:20There's a lot of work to be done there,
01:23especially the road.
01:25I don't think half a metre of road would be worth anything.
01:30Something needs to be done.
01:32Having said that, I believe that nature is more important
01:37than the land.
01:39We need to think about reducing carbon emissions.
01:43We need to put an end to the use of this land.
01:47But it's nature that's going to put an end to the use of the land.
01:52The wind is increasing.
01:54The sea level is rising.
01:56So, the waves are increasing.
01:58So, the problem can change very quickly.
02:01Who knows?
02:03So, we need a new approach.
02:05Yes.
02:06Will that worry us, and will it change the way you look at the land
02:10and the way things are looked at?
02:12Yes, of course.
02:13It'll be political.
02:14It'll be different.
02:15What we're trying to do is focus on the dam itself.
02:18People want to use the dam as it is at the moment.
02:21But, again, we need to support the dam
02:24in the face of the storms that will come in the future.
02:27There are about 200 days in the wake of a storm.
02:30If there's a storm, one in 200 years will be over.
02:34And although there are concerns about environmental effects,
02:38the unbearable amount of land could be lost.
02:41It has to be worked on with the support of the people of Aber.
02:45That's the town council's message.
02:47I think everyone has their own bar.
02:49I think it's important that they put it forward.
02:52One of the most important elements is the cost.
02:55We're talking about £10 billion.
02:57There are figures that are being discussed there,
03:00between £15 billion and £20 billion.
03:02That is, of course, possible to change over the next few years.
03:06So, we don't know what the cost will be.
03:10It will certainly have to be part of the negotiations.
03:14The seafront at Aberystwyth has had a tremendous buffeting
03:17and suffered thousands of pounds worth of damage.
03:20That's not a new problem.
03:22And with the school starting work in 2026
03:25after going through planning processes,
03:28there will be time again before we reach full completion of this plan.
03:39.
