Controversial National Park consultation enters final month

With less than a month to go until the statutory consultation closes, residents are being encouraged to submit their response to the proposed Glyndŵr National Park. 

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) have been running a 12-week statutory consultation on a final map and supporting evidence.

The statutory consultation follows two years of detailed evaluation commissioned by Welsh Government, including data gathering, technical assessments, and engagement with communities and stakeholders across the region. Previous public engagement in 2023 and a public consultation in 2024 have helped shape the current proposal.

Ash Pearce, Programme Manager said: 

“This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to influence the long-term protection of this special landscape, balancing the needs of local communities, visitors, and the environment. Please share your thoughts by submitting a response form before the consultation closes.”

The proposed Glyndŵr National Park map can be downloaded here  but once downloaded, it needs to be opened with Adobe Acrobat. 

There are Microsoft Teams public meetings planned for: Wednesday, November 19 (6pm-7.30pm) and Tuesday, December 2 (6pm-7.30pm)

The main way to respond to the consultation is by submitting a responses form by clicking here.

All responses must be received no later than Monday, December 8.
