Free car parking set to end at beauty spot beach

FEES COULD COME IN THIS SUMMER

- By DALE SPRIDGEON

CHARGES look set to be introduced at Gwynedd beach car park that was previously free.

Parking levies were introduced on a trial basis at the Dinas Dinlle beach car park, near Caernarfon, last summer.

Cyngor Gwynedd's cabinet is now being asked to support a plan to start the legal process seeking a permanent off-street parking order at the site.

Dinas Dinlle is a long sand and pebbled coastal area, popular with visitors and locals for its far-reaching view towards Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula.

It is also the site of a nearby Iron Age Hill fort, which has been the subject of archaeological excavation.

The Cabinet is formally requested to endorse a plan to delegate authority to the head of economy and community, in consultation with the Cabinet member for economy and community and head of legal services, to prepare an order to make the experimental order permanent, and give notice to the press.
