Council fences off land couple have parked on for nearly four decades

A council has been slammed by a couple after it fenced off a roadside verge where they had been parking for nearly four decades. The couple, Tracey and James Woodbine run a successful glamping business and have lived at the family home for 46 years, three miles from the nearest village of Llangernyw.

Their business, Woody’s Glamping, has been up and running for seven years, and they said they had always parked on a verge just off the country lane between Betws-yn-Rhos and Llangernyw. But, saying it was trying to protect visibility on the road's bend after complaints about the number of vehicles parking there, Conwy Council has fenced off the land, preventing the couple from leaving their car there any longer.

The couple claimed the council had agreed to hold off fencing the area until their planning application for a new parking area on their own land was accepted and the work done. You can get more local news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
