According to a union, employees at one of Wales’ most renowned tourist attractions have been working under “intolerable pressure” and are short on staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Brecon Beacons attracts thousands of people each year, but workers who administer and maintain it are overworked, according to Unison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its accusation comes after a damning report was issued against the entity in charge of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Brecon Beacons National Park Authority (BBNPA) announced that “a new chapter” had begun following a “particularly trying” period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authority’s mandate is to maintain the park’s natural beauty, assist tourists in enjoying it, and promote the “wellbeing of local residents.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It employs approximately 130 people, who work as wardens, visitor and tourist information assistants, planners, community development officers, and support staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, according to a recent Audit Wales report, staff felt “overwhelmed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auditor also stated that the authority faced “serious governance concerns” as it confronted major challenges such as reversing environmental decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the study, “several” members and staff spoke about the “personal toll of working within the authority and mentioned difficulties sleeping, persistent tension, and worry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auditor observed “increasing lethargy” and “fear of doing the incorrect thing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
