Awdurdod y Parc yn gweithredu i amddiffyn diogelwch y cyhoedd

Mewn ymateb i bryderon cynyddol ynghylch cynnydd yn nifer yr ymwelwyr i rhannau poblogaidd o Sir Benfro, mae Awdurdod Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro wedi cau ei feysydd parcio a chau rhannau o Lwybr Arfordir Sir Benfro.

Wrth siarad am y penderfyniad, dywedodd y prif weithredwr Tegryn Jones: “Er gwaethaf cyngor y Llywodraeth i osgoi teithio sydd dim yn hanfodol ac i aros gartref lle bynnag y bo modd, rydym wedi profi penwythnos eithriadol o brysur ledled y sir.

“Er budd diogelwch y cyhoedd, rydym yn cau ein meysydd parcio i bawb ond mynediad brys, ac yn cau rhannau o Lwybr yr Arfordir lle mae’n amhosibl dilyn cyngor y Llywodraeth ac ymarfer pellhau cymdeithasol yn ddiogel.

 “Rydym yn annog pobl i ddilyn cyngor y Llywodraeth ac aros adref i aros yn ddiogel. Rydym hefyd yn cyflwyno ple i bobl er mwyn osgoi teithio i gael mynediad i’r awyr agored a chael mynediad i’r hyn y gallwch chi o stepen eich drws yn unig.

“Rydym yn galw ar Lywodraeth y DU a Chymru i ddarparu mesurau cryfach ar deithio diangen a phellter cymdeithasol, gyda chanllawiau penodol ar yr hyn y mae ‘teithio angenrheidiol’ yn ei olygu mewn gwirionedd.”

In response to growing concerns of increased visitor numbers to popular parts of Pembrokeshire, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority has closed its car parks and closed sections of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

Chief executive Tegryn Jones said: “Despite government advice to avoid all but essential travel and to remain at home wherever possible, we have experienced an exceptionally busy weekend across the county.

“In the interest of public safety, we are closing our car parks to all but emergency access, and closing sections of the Coast Path where it is impossible to follow government advice and practise safe social distancing.

“We urge people to follow government advice and stay at home to stay safe. We are also issuing a plea to people to avoid travelling to access the outdoors and only access what you can from your doorstep.

“We are calling on the UK and Welsh governments to provide stronger measures on unnecessary travel and social distancing, with specific guidance on what ‘necessary travel’ actually entails.”
