Have your say on Dinas Dinlle development
Date: 26/11/2024
Cyngor Gwynedd is seeking public opinion following a trial period of charging parking fees at one of the county's most popular beaches.
Over August and September this year, a fee was payable for those wishing to park for longer than an hour between 9am and 5pm in the two main car parks at Dinas Dinlle.
Cyngor Gwynedd is now asking the public for feedback and comments regarding improvements carried out to the facilities in the area and about the trial period of charging a fee for parking.
Local residents and businesses, car park users and members of other organisations can take part in the engagement exercise by completing a short questionnaire:
- Via the Council's website: www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/DinasDinlle
- Paper copies of the questionnaire are also available from the Siop Gwynedd offices in Caernarfon and Pwllheli and at Caernarfon and Penygroes Libraries.
A Cyngor Gwynedd Council spokesperson said: “Earlier this year, improvements were carried out at the Dinas Dinlle car park including resurfacing, improving the entrances, marking parking bays, landscaping and upgrading the leisure facilities.
“During the summer – from mid-August and throughout September – a trial period was held where parking fees were charged between 9am and 5pm daily. We are now reviewing and evaluating these arrangements as part of our work to develop a permanent management plan for the site.
“We are inviting feedback from local residents and businesses, car park users as well as statutory bodies as part of the evaluation work. The closing date for the survey is Friday, 13 December, 2024. All comments received will be considered in detail as the Council moves forward to form long-term proposals for the site, which will be subject to further formal consultation during 2025.”
