POLICE and council enforcement officers are getting tough with inconsiderate parking causing chaos at the entrance to Ammanford bus station.

A council spokesman said vehicles could be towed away, with prosecutions following.

County executive board member for transport services Cllr Colin Evans said there had been issues for some time with cars parking outside or opposite the bus station entrance. He said: “This is a danger to pedestrians and road users, hazardous for buses and motorists negotiating the road as well as causing unnecessary hold-ups.”

The bus station has reopened after a considerable makeover to bring it into line with Carmarthen and Llanelli bus stations and make is safer for bus users. There are still a small amount of works to be completed before it is official reopened.
