Four local traders at Holyhead's Newry Beach have moved into newly restored kiosks.

UK Government funding from the town's regeneration programme has been used to renovate the spaces as part of a broader effort to make the most of Holyhead's coastal assets.

The kiosks - which date back to the 1930s - were officially opened on Monday by two local councillors, Glyn Haynes and John Chorlton, alongside Anglesey Council's chief executive, Dylan Williams.

The four businesses at Newry Beach - Cuffed-In Coffee, Island Bakes, Môn Ices and Cwt Creu - each offer high quality artisan refreshments, baked goods and local gifts.

Kristian Cuffin, owner of Cuffed-In Coffee, said: “We're excited to have one of the kiosks and are grateful to have been part of this great project, which benefits local businesses and the people and community of Holyhead."

"From our new base at the kiosk, we've hired an additional staff member to meet the increase in customer demand, so it’s already allowed us to grow and expand our business."

It's hoped the new kiosks will help bring new life to the seafront and provide a platform for local entrepreneurs as well as attracting residents and visitors alike.

Cllr Haynes, town and county councillor for Parc a'r Mynydd and chair of the county council, said: "I’m delighted that these new facilities have now opened on the front at Newry Beach."

"It is a popular spot for visitors and residents – with the new kiosk we hope it will give the area a boost as a destination, improve access to leisure as well as make the most of what Holyhead has to offer."

Cllr Rushton, town councillor for Kingsland, added: "The kiosks represent a valuable part of our local heritage, and we’re pleased to see them playing a role in supporting local businesses and enhancing the visitor experience."

"They can now contribute to the town’s ongoing efforts to promote economic activity and improve public spaces. By creating a place where people can visit and enjoy refreshments, we hope the kiosks become a popular feature on the seafront."
