PCSO undertake extra high-visibility and plain-clothed patrols of car parks along the coast from Llantwit Major to Ogmore throughout the summer (1 June to 1 September) in order to target seasonal crime and antisocial behaviour.  Vehicles parked on double yellow lines leading to the beach entrance at Ogmore-by-Sea are dealt with by a zero tolerance approach and given a Fixed Penalty Notice.  The Vale of Glamorgan Council have the authority to issue fines to those camping overnight; remains of camp fires and litter cause many problems for stock grazing on the common.
