Green Light Beam Implemented at Talacre Terminal for Bird Control During Demolition
A green light beam will be in operation at the Point of Ayr Terminal nightly from August 10, 2026, to deter birds during demolition activities. The measure, approved by Flintshire County Council, is expected to last until late September 2026, coinciding with the breeding season.

Starting August 10, 2026, a green light beam will be used nightly at the Point of Ayr Terminal to discourage birds from the demolition area. This beam will operate from dusk until dawn and remain directed at the ground within the terminal boundaries.
The demolition and site preparation began in September 2025 and will continue through 2026, following planning consent from Flintshire County Council in May 2024. The project is part of the HyNet carbon capture initiative aimed at transferring carbon dioxide to depleted gas reservoirs under Liverpool Bay for permanent storage.
The terminal is expected to become operational by 2028. An appointed ecologist will ensure adherence to environmental regulations protecting local wildlife.
