Public access to a walkway around a reservoir with stunning views is ending because of an issue of dog owners not cleaning up after their pets. Gates and fencing are being erected on the walkways at Tanygrisiau, Gwynedd, on May 1.
Owner First Hydro said it had run out of patience with an issue that had long vexed its maintenance staff because they had to clear the mess before being able to carry out their work.
John Armstrong, First Hydro’s station manager at Ffestiniog and Dinorwic, told NorthWalesLive: “For quite a while now, we have had a real problem with some dog owners not clearing up poo or leaving poo bags behind. We realise it’s only a minority but they are disrupting dam maintenance.
