Eryri Article 4 Controls Called ‘Racist’ as Backers Claim Airbnbs Hurt Park

Eryri: There’s a lot of chatter about the new Article 4 controls in Eryri. Some folks think it’s a bit harsh, even calling it racist. But others say it’s a must to save the national park from being overrun by Airbnbs.

Local residents are worried about how these changes will affect them. Many believe that if holiday homes keep popping up, it’ll push house prices up and make it tough for locals to buy. The Eryri National Park Authority is set to discuss this at their next meeting. They’ve heard from the community, and while some support the controls, others are really against them.

Critics argue that the policy could hurt the local economy and tourism. They say it might even make it harder for people to sell their homes. On the flip side, supporters think it’s about time someone took action to keep the community intact. They feel that too many homes are being turned into holiday rentals, leaving locals in the lurch.

The debate is heating up, and it seems like everyone has an opinion. Some residents are worried about losing their family homes, while others fear the area could turn into a ghost town. It’s a tricky situation, and the outcome could change the face of Eryri forever.
