South Wales Police will continue extra patrols at Barry Island this weekend, as part of Operation Elstree.

Section 35 notices will be in place this weekend to prevent anti-social behaviour in Barry Island and Ogmore-by-Sea.

SWP say concerns continue to be raised about problem parking, particularly in Barry Island and Ogmore-by-Sea, and last weekend a number of fixed penalty notices were issued for parking offences such as obstruction.

"Officers will be working closely with colleagues from the respective local authorities to address this issue and action will be taken where vehicles are found to be parked illegally," said SWP.

Chief Inspector Bella Rees, from South Wales Police, said: "It is understandable that everyone is keen to make the most of the good weather and visit our beautiful coastal areas but we would ask visitors to please be considerate of how they park and ensure there is enough space for emergency vehicles to pass.

"Fire engines in particular are larger than cars and need more room to turn corners so please avoid parking too close to junctions.

"Every second counts when emergency services are responding to a 999 call so please park responsibly."
