Police in Snowdonia tow 40 parked vehicles 'to help reduce the risk to walkers, cyclists and other road users' cycling
"The irresponsible and dangerous parking we witnessed in Pen y Pass and Llyn Ogwen yesterday not only risks lives, but also prevents emergency vehicle access," North Wales Police explained.
"We continue to work closely with our colleagues at Gwynedd Council and the Eryri National Park to help reduce the risk to walkers, cyclists and other road users. The force added that it appreciates many will want to visit to enjoy the weather and stunning scenery, but urged motorists to"be responsible" and"think about where they park and to make full use of the park and ride facilities that are available".
