Park and ride facilities in Swansea Vale could be made more secure if a report presented to Swansea Council’s Cabinet is approved.
At present, the site has become a hotspot for fly-tipping and has led to the Council spending £27,000 to remove around 190 tonnes of waste from the location.
Since then, a crime prevention assessment has been completed looking at how to make the facility secure for future use as a park and ride service.
Possible measures the Council could implement if the report is approved include changing access to the site and securing fencing and signage to help deter fly-tippers.
Part of the site is currently used by a number of gypsy traveller families. A possession order was obtained by the Council in March 2009 which prevents further travellers moving on to the site but allows the existing families to stay for the time being.
Reena Owen, Director for the Environment in Swansea Council, said: “The park and ride site has been targeted for some time by illegal fly-tippers and this has resulted in the Council spending a lot of time, effort and money clearing up the mess.
“The crime prevention survey has identified a number of actions we can take to improve the current situation.
“Hopefully, this can lead to the site being utilised more effectively as a park and ride site for the stadium.”
The report will go to Cabinet on Thursday August 26.
