Llanelli doomed - according to report
Bad news for Llanelli in The Observer newspaper today.
Millions living near the coast are likely to be hit by rising sea levels, erosion and storm surges, warns a new study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
I quote -
One of the towns that will be particularly affected is Llanelli, on the Loughor estuary in Wales.
The inhabitants told the report's authors that they believe many parts of their town could be under water within 50 years. Recent storms have destroyed the Millennium Coastal Path around Llanelli, while sand dunes at nearby Pembrey have disappeared.
