A MILITARY mine has been washed up at Burry Port Harbour leading to the temporary closure of the West Beach.
The mine was found and identified by Carmarthenshire County Council rangers who evacuated the beach area.
A bomb disposal squad was notified and is en route to the location. The beach will remain closed until it has been dealt with by them.
Executive board member for leisure Cllr Meryl Gravell said: “I would like to reassure the public that we have taken the appropriate action, we apologise for any inconvenience whilst the beach is temporarily closed.”
