An army of cockle pickers descended onto the beds at Laugharne at the weekend. Makeshift camp sites were established in the car park and sand dunes at Ginst point. No toilet or washing facilities were visible. A local man who did not wish to be named said “They have come here again and made a mess. They have taken down signs and cut through chains on gates.
