The residents of Marford Mill have recently been subjected to vehicles speeding down the access road and their occupants swimming and picnicking without permission. Anglers are not being blamed but as a result the padlock on the access gate will be reinstated (code 1964) and members are requested to observe the signposted 10mph speed limit […]

Kinmel Beat 1
Members are advised that what appears to be axle grease has been smeared all over the gate in an apparent attempt to deter access.
