A Cardiff Council spokesperson said: "Once again our teams have been faced with the huge task of cleaning up a significant amount of rubbish left behind by large groups of people intent on breaking COVID-19 restrictions.

"Last night, bins were left unused and the ground was littered with rubbish. Council staff have been on site since the early hours of the morning, working hard to clear and clean the area.

"Despite the preventative measures put in place by the council, in partnership with South Wales Police, the Welsh Government's coronavirus regulations were again broken by a significant number of people illegally gathering in Cardiff Bay.

"The rules are clear, six people, from two households are allowed to meet outdoors, maintaining two metre social distancing. Breaking these rules significantly increases the chances of COVID-19 cases rising in the city. We urge everyone to follow the advice, maintain social distance, and to keep Cardiff safe."
