‘They’re turning our lovely beach into a no-go area’

RESIDENTS SAY EXTRA OFFICIAL CAMPERVAN SITES WON'T SOLVE ISSUES WITHOUT HOTSPOT CRACKDOWN

- By ANDREW FORGRAVE

Online, one local claimed that, at times, “50-plus” campers are still parking up for the night.

Addressing the council, she fumed: “They are turning our lovely beach into a no-go area.”

She continued: “You ban us residents from walking our dogs on the beach during tourist season, you hike the parking prices so again so regular visits for locals are no longer affordable - yet you continually turn a blind eye to visitors in vans parking up in laybys, passing places, beaches etc, dumping rubbish and dirty water.

“Why not give us residents passes to use our local attractions, and charge and fine the visitors? You'd raise far more money and keep residents happy - we pay enough council tax.”

Residents in Llanbedr have raised similar concerns, with the lack of arosfans in south Gwynedd a bugbear for communities grappling with their own parking problems.
