RESIDENTS forced to put up with the long-term closure of their high street are now being fined for parking on it, it's been claimed.

Businesses remain open in Deganwy but many are struggling with the road's closure and are happy to get any footfall they can.

Traders claim a 10-week gas pipe project is causing major disruption in the seaside town.

One notable shop has been forced to shut already, its owner citing the 'detrimental effect' the works have had on her business since the road was closed to through-traffic three weeks ago.

The A546 through Deganwy, which encompasses Station Road and Deganwy Road, is being closed in phases until November 21.

With diversions in place, some motorists have been left unsure whether they can reach the town. Businesses have noticed a significant drop in trade.
