Denbighshire County Council has put out a warning on its social media that anyone breaching parking restrictions near Llangollen's Horseshoe Falls this weekend face receiving a penalty charge by civil enforcement officers on duty there.
The get-tough message comes after narrow roads leading to the beauty spot became clogged with scores of parked vehicles last bank holiday Monday leaving some local residents unable to get to or from their homes.
The problem has already been the subject of discussions between Llangollen Town Council and the police.
Now, on its Facebook page today (Friday) the council says: "Horseshoe Falls, Llangollen. With a busy weekend expected, the council is working to manage the increase in visitors and has made a number of preparations.
"The council is also aware of parking issues at the tourist spot and will be deploying civil enforcement officers to manage the site.
"People are reminded parking restrictions are important for both road safety and ensuring there is a fair turnover of parking spaces.
"Drivers not complying with parking restrictions risk receiving a Penalty Charge Notice.
"The council is also working with North Wales Police to manage the tourist spot and areas around it.
"Visitors are reminded to be respectful to those working to ensure the safety and enjoyment of visitors and residents."
