TEMPORARY fencing has been put up on Llandudno's Great Orme in preparation for goat welfare checks.

The goats attracted world-wide fame after taking over the streets in Llandudno during lockdown.

Fears for their safety were highlighted earlier this year after a 'baby boom'.

In March, the Pioneer reported that the country park was unable to do its contraceptive programme last summer. As a result, there has been an abundance of kids born and now there are more goats than normal.

A spokesperson from Conwy County Borough Council said: "The council works alongside with other organisations with an interest in the Great Orme goats’ welfare, including Mostyn Estates, Llandudno Town Council, RSPCA Aberconwy branch and Natural Resources Wales."
