Tourists visiting an iconic national park have accused locals of being "self-righteous" and "biting the hand that feeds" after their cars were towed away.
The angry response comes after officials at Eryri National Park, formally known as Snowdonia, acted on its zero-tolerance policy for dangerous and illegal parking in the area following concerns about the impact of the soaring popularity of the park.
NorthWalesLive reports police shut a major road in the area to allow 40 cars which had been parked illegally to be towed away. Enforcement teams were also seen dishing out fixed penalty notices to vehicles which had ignored the double yellow lines on the side of the busy road.
