'Drunkenness and fighting' reported at Gower beach as new parking restrictions come in to try to stop it

There will be restricted access from now on for vans and high-top vehicles trying to access a car park at a Gower beauty spot, in a bid to stop them parking overnight and end 'drunkenness, fighting and aggression'

The height barrier at the entrance to the car park has been lowered to six foot, forcing vans and high-rise vehicles to park at the back of the car park, furthest away from the beach front.

A Facebook post by Penrice Castle Cottages, linked to Penrice Castle Estate which runs the car park, states: "We would like to let all van owners know that the height barrier at Oxwich has been lowered to six foot. This means that the only parking for vans and high top vehicles will be in the back of the car park next to the entrance hut. We advise van owners to arrive early to avoid disappointment. This measure has been taken to stop illegal overnight parking on the beach front which has been a serious problem in recent months."
