A bridge on a stretch of a popular coastal path in Wales has been repeatedly vandalised to the point where it is no longer safe to use, locals have warned. The bridge is located in the Bynea area of Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, near the start of the Millennium Coastal Path which spans around 13 miles towards Pembrey further west.
Over the past year or so, vandalism has affected the wooden bridge, which sits above a grassy bank overlooking the estuary, an area which can become boggy and flooded during periods of high tide and heavy rainfall.

It’s becoming a concern for local people who live near and like to use the path, with the vandalism potentially causing a danger for walkers or especially young children or animals. “It’s been in a bad way for about a year now,” said Richard Watts who lives in Bynea.
