An area of Wales with some of the highest concentration of second homes in tourist areas is set to bring in a significant increase to council tax bills for people who aren't permanent residents.
Gwynedd council plans increase the premium it charges to the owners of 23,000 second homes in the area to 150% in April this year. At the moment, second home owners in the area pay 100% extra - or double - the normal council tax rate.
Tourist hotspots including Abersoch in the Llyn Peninsula are in Gwynedd council and Welsh language communities in the area have been affected by the rising price of houses driven by people looking for second homes. See more on the issue here.
