Gwynedd council have now increased their overnight parking at Pen Y Pass, from the old £5 to £10, so that it aligns itself with the daytime charge.
According to the North Wales Weekly Post article, there are current discussions being made, that will see all parking charges in council run and maintained carparks, around Mount Snowdon, going up significantly.
No final levy charge has been decided upon, but the future charge will go up significantly.
All Gwynedd Council could say to counter argument the claim that it will deter tourists to the region, was that all the parking charges are used to maintain the various paths up the mountain.
