Complaints have been raised about an RV which has been parked across a public space at a Welsh beach for "weeks." The vehicle, which at one point had a makeshift clothes line stretching across a public green space, has been parked between Traeth Pensarn and the Abergele & Pensarn station for over five weeks, according to Lurleen, a local resident.
Lurleen, who didn't want to give her surname, said that the placement of the RV meant that people were unable to use exercise equipment along the promenade and that a clothes line that had been erected, now taken down, was taking up 40 ft of space. “It’s horrendous. It’s right across the entrance to the train station,” she said.
“If a fire brigade or anything had to get around, they are going to have difficulty,” Lurleen said, adding that there was now only space for one car to get through the road and that she feared the impact any waste disposal might have on people using the area at busy times such as the summer.

Lurleen said she contacted the police and Conwy Council about the issue on Saturday March 18 and added: “There’s lots of caravan sites, there’s lots of mobile homes, but you have to pay for that. It’s slowly but surely getting worse.”
A spokesperson for Conwy Council said: “We are aware of an illegal encampment in Pensarn. The relevant legal processes are underway to seek a court imposed eviction order.” North Wales Police has been approached for comment.
