Record numbers visit Llanelli's North Dock
Visitor numbers to Llanellli’s North Dock have hit an all time high. Bumper figures show that the Millennium Coastal Park site has attracted an extra 1,000 visitors every week in the last six months. More than 52,000 parking tickets have been sold at North Dock from April to November this year compared to 42,000 during the same period last year.
