Wales - Eryri (Snowdonia): Almost 40 cars towed for illegal Easter parking on A5

Police have warned that illegal parking at a north Wales beauty spot will see more cars removed after almost 40 vehicles were towed at the start of the Easter break. [image] North Wales Police said parking on double yellow lines or obstructing roads in Eryri National Park - also known as Snowdonia - “risks lives”. The issue forced the A5 road to close on Friday. Large groups are expected to visit the area again across the weekend. Police are urging drivers to make use of the park and ride …

Wales - Rhos-on-Sea beach reopens with million tonnes of seabed sand

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-65219866 [image] A beach has reopened following an overhaul including about one million tonnes of sand from the seabed. The £14m project in Rhos-on-Sea, Conwy county, involved using a 1km pipe to bring in the sand from the seabed. It has prompted renewed calls for a sandy beach at nearby Llandudno, which has largely been covered in rocks as part of sea defences since 2014. The beach at Rhos-on-Sea opened in time for the Easter weekend after work began la…

Wales - Brecon Beacons: Park to use Welsh name Bannau Brycheiniog

Brecon Beacons National Park has announced that it will use its Welsh language name only in future. The switch - to Bannau Brycheiniog National Park - takes effect on Monday, its 66th anniversary. Park bosses said the change promotes the area’s culture and heritage, but the area MP said the English name could be kept alongside the Welsh. It is part of a wider overhaul of how the park is managed, to try and address serious environmental challenges. The Welsh name means “the peaks of Brychan’…

Angela Jones, from Eryri National Park, also known as Snowdonia, said “social media has caused over capacity” at popular locations leading to issues including erosion, as well as pressure on car parks and rescue services. About 600,000 people climb the peak annually with the wider park seeing an influx since the Covid…

Wales first UK nation to drop motoring speed limit from 30mph to 20mph

[image] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-66774379 Speed limits in built-up areas will be reduced from 30mph to 20mph in Wales on Sunday - a UK first that has caused controversy with some drivers. The law will change the speed limit on about 35% of Welsh roads where lamp-posts are no more than 200 yards (183m) apart. The Welsh government said the £32.5m cost to rollout the new nationwide speed limit was “outweighed” by reduced impact on the NHS and emergency services, which one study said…

Calennig-Welsh New Year

What is calennig? A well-known Welsh tradition, still seen in some areas, is the collection of calennig (New Year’s gift) where children rise early and carry from door to door, as bearers of good luck, a decorated apple, pierced with three sticks and adorned with a sprig of box and hazelnuts. The children usually sing a simple verse and in return usually received a gift or food or money for their troubles. Rhymes and songs were concisely worded and their message was to announce the New Year’s a…
