Swansea cabinet member for investment, regeneration and tourism, Robert Francis Davies, said: “Our iconic beach huts at Langland have been a fixture at the bay for decades.
“The popularity of them means we have to carry out a draw each year so we can allocate the huts in a fair way. Lucky applicants will be able to choose from a variety of rental periods and we will let applicants know in March if they have been successful.”
