Wave goodbye: Faults force surf centre winter shutdown

A new surf lagoon in north Wales has shut eight weeks early for the winter due to mechanical issues, bosses said.

Sixty seasonal workers have had their contracts terminated early and eight permanent staff have been made redundant at Surf Snowdonia in Dolgarrog, Conwy Valley.

The lagoon, which generates a man-made wave using new technology, suffered its third fault last week since it opened at the end of July.

Bosses have apologised to customers. Matthew Richards reports.
