Minutes:

This petition and ‘P-06-1447 Stop Natural Resources Wales closing the visitor centre at Ynyslas National Nature Reserve’ were considered together.

The Committee considered the petition and noted that there remained uncertainty over the future of the centres and that the issue was a matter of concern for Members across the chamber. Members agreed to write to NRW with the petitioner’s request: to ask them to share the financial records of the three centres, their visitor management plans, and an impact assessment on what closure would mean for access.

Members also agreed to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change regarding concerns raised with the Committee by the petitioners about what they were hearing on the ground, including concerns about possible mothballing of the centres prior to new operators taking over.
