🛑 **Stay Safe**: The slides hit properties near Lon Penrallt, with at least one property demolished and others deemed too hazardous to inspect. The latest and most severe landslide potentially happened overnight, escalating concerns.

🚶‍♂️🚧 **Footpaths Closed**: Footpaths are off-limits now, and there’s more risk lingering, so the area is being cordoned off. Councillor Gruffydd Williams is on top of things, coordinating with residents and getting assessments sorted.

🏚️ **Damage on Familiar Grounds**: Nefyn’s cliffs are no strangers to landslides, but this week’s downpours really did a number. Previous slides have carved the landscape, and after a significant slip earlier this December, it seems the cliffs have more in store.

🔍 **Local Insights**: Maddy Dobson, whose family boathouse got caught in the disaster, noted, “The landslide went through the property… it’s a write-off.” It’s been a tough hit, and residents are left waiting for specialist evaluations.

🚨 **Police Advisory**: North Wales Police say it best: “Please avoid the area.” The council is erecting fencing and signs, prioritising everyone’s safety first. December’s relentless rain has made landslides almost a given during winter months, causing headaches for Nefyn’s residents yet again.

🌧️ Let’s hope for some drier days and safer paths soon! Keep updated, stay safe, and lend a helping hand if you’re local. 💪❤️ #NefynLandslides #StaySafe #CommunitySupport
