Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is urging people to respond to the public consultation on a proposed new National Park in Wales, which could include Llangollen.
One of a series of special consultation events is planned for Llangollen Town Hall on December 10, from 3-7pm.
People can also respond by viewing materials and submitting questionnaire feedback on an updated draft boundary map, referred to as the Candidate Area.
The map has changed since the initial study area map was shared in 2023 and so, sharing feedback again this year is crucial, says NRW.
Welsh Government has commissioned NRW to gather evidence and assess the case for a new National Park.
An initial study area map - referred to as the Area of Search - was identified and shared during a public engagement period in 2023. Following this, and a period of evidence gathering, NRW is now running a public consultation giving people a second opportunity to respond to the emerging proposal.
The public consultation period has been running since October and will end on December 16.
A questionnaire is live on the project website and a series of drop-in and public online events have been arranged in and around the area under assessment.
The events are an opportunity to learn more about the project and evidence gathered to date, ask questions of the team and share feedback on the Candidate Area Map.
People are encouraged to attend a drop-in event or sign up to an online event, and submit a questionnaire with their feedback.
Ash Pearce, Programme Manager in NRW’s Designated Landscapes Programme team said: "I strongly urge everyone who cares about these issues to respond to the consultation which closes on December 16. We will carefully consider all feedback, and this will help inform our next steps.”
There will also be a public online event:
Date | Time | Location |
Thursday 12 December | 6pm – 7:30pm | Microsoft Teams |
To sign up to an online event email your interest to the project team at designated.landscapes.programme@naturalresourceswales.gov.uk
