Issues in Gwynedd
Gwynedd councillors reported irresponsible motorhome and campervan users dumping chemical toilet waste into rivers and leaving litter in scenic areas. Problems were noted in Y Foryd in Caernarfon, Morfa Bychan near Porthmadog, Nant Gwynant, Llanberis and Yr Wyddfa.
Action taken
The council supported a motion to consider additional measures to tackle inappropriate parking and overnight stays, despite the operation of four Arosfan pilot sites for motorhomes. The motion calls on the cabinet to consider practical steps to control the situation and protect communities and sensitive areas, while responsible visitors remain welcome.
