It also urged motorists to park sensibly near Storey Arms, with officers set to look for vehicles causing obstruction.

Sgt Owen Dillion said illegal parking created a danger for pedestrians.

He also urged motorists to look at alternative routes up to Pen y Fan.

"The area is a national park and much of the Storey Arms section of the A470 is a clearway which means that roadside parking is not permitted," he said.
