In the horns of a dilemma: Herd of goats hold up traffic in seaside town - ... trends now

A herd of goats are causing traffic chaos and destroying locals' gardens in a seaside town in North Wales.  

Kashmiri goats in Llandudno are holding up traffic in the main street, sitting between parked cars and devouring gardens - with one councillor claiming they can 'jump fences like Grand National horses'.   

Fears are growing that the wild animals - which have wandered as far as a mile from their usual home on the Great Orme headland - might get knocked down by cars. 

The goats were spotted settling on a roundabout on the main road into the resort, which was recently cleared of vegetation by council workers.

Many locals said the goats have made the town world-famous since taking over the empty streets during Covid lockdowns. The goats have lived on the Great Orme headland for 100 years.
