Beautiful Gwynedd beaches fail to entice one job applicant
Owners of dogs using beach no-go areas are escaping fines because two new council warden jobs have failed to attract a sniff of interest.
Gwynedd councillors heard not one application had been received for the roles which would include patrolling some of its " beautiful" beaches.
No fines have been issued since a legal order was imposed Last Year .

Dogs have been banned from some areas of beaches at certain times of year following the introduction of a last July, according to the.
Highways and municipal cabinet member councillor Berwyn Parry Jones said no fines had been issued.
" Filling jobs is a problem in The Council , and in the Private Sector , at The Moment , " He Said .
" We intend to increase The Number of maritime staff, because there are now A Number of shortages due to retirement and moving jobs.
" We received funding to appoint two dog wardens, we advertised on occasions, but have had no applicants as yet. "
Mr Owen said he had attended a Civil Service conference earlier in the week and heard there was a " huge reduction in the workforce compared to last Last Year ".
" It's a dire situation, " He Said .
Councillor Parry Jones said The Beaches of Harlech and Llandanwg were " not only beautiful but long" and that wardens - Once they were recruited - should be deployed " as a priority".
Councillors were told the roles were more about engagement than giving out fines.
Gwynedd Council confirmed it had " struggled to fill The Post , which has a salary between £20,092 and £21,748, despite advertising it through our usual channels".
