RURAL communities are at risk because too many people are driving to beauty spots near the Herefordshire-Powys border, Brecon Beacons National Park Authority has said.
While England and Wales are both still in lockdowns in a bid to control the spread of coronavirus, the authority said people breaching Welsh Government rules is putting "the park's fragile rural communities at risk".
To tackle the problem, bosses have closed areas of the park which are popular with visitors.
"While Wales remains in lockdown, it has become apparent that people are continuing to park at popular National Park beauty spots, against Welsh Government regulations and putting themselves and the park’s fragile rural communities at risk," the authority said.
