Tensions over parking bubbled over in a Welsh seaside town. In an apparent incident a holidaymaker began “screaming” at a resident unable to exit her driveway.
This then descended into a on-street argument which ended with the visitor tossing away a traffic cone and cursing the resident for her anti-tourism attitudes. “I’m shaking, I’m so bloody angry!” the resident reported on Facebook. “I have asked countless people not to park there and not one person has ever reacted that way, it was totally shocking and really uncalled for.”
North Wales Live reported that the confrontation in Penmaenmawr, Conwy, highlights the peak tourism season conflicts that exist in many coastal communities when they become overrun with holidaymakers. On roads with no parking restrictions visitors are free to park where there like – but locals say the laws of “common decency” should prevail.
