Fears have been raised over an emergency telephone in a popular beauty spot in the Gower which has been out of action since last summer. The coastwatch in the Worm's Head area has said the emergency 999 phone being broken could lead to tragedy in the case of an out-of-hours emergency.
The National Coastwatch Institution, based in Worm's Head, said the phone has been out of order since last June and has yet to be fixed despite attempts to do so. It said in a post on Facebook: "If you succumb to some form of accident whilst in the vicinity of Worm's Head, I would suggest you have it during our opening and closing hours. You might have noticed that some mobile phone reception in the area around Worms Head is poor at best, if not impossible.
"Since June of last year the phone has been out of order. We have tried to resolve the situation with Swansea Council as they are responsible for the phone. No joy unfortunately. But, between the hours of 10am and 5pm you are safe."
