FTAO : Jean Roscoe of Bangor The point you make about parking illegally is well made but the arrogance with which you seem to feel that you have some of god given right or not to accept visitors to what you describe "our area" as you describe it is laughable were it not so discriminatory. It rather reminds me of the attitude of local surfers in some parts of the UK who resent visitors to what they feel are their personal beaches and take have been known to damage visitors cars and even on occasions assault visiting surfers. This sort of selfish I want the mountains just for me and my local friends approach is not acceptable. Criticise illegal parking by all means and take it up with the police , if the Police had issued tickets for parking on Pen Y Pass or elsewhere that would have discouraged repeat offenders and made a contribution to the exchequer.
