Clwyd West AM Darren Millar has welcomed confirmation of an extension to the Clwydian Range’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Darren Millar was speaking as the Welsh Environment Minister made a statement in the Senedd today.
Darren said:
‘It’s been a long time coming, but I’m delighted that the extension of the Clwydian Range AONB has finally been confirmed.
‘The unique landscape, the history and the natural heritage of the Range draws tens of thousands of people into North Wales every year. It is incredibly important to our local economy and local businesses should benefit from today’s news.
‘The Welsh Government must now work with local businesses, tourism partners and other key stakeholders to ensure that the Range is widely promoted both nationally and overseas. It is a national treasure and deserves to be marketed as such.’
He added, ‘I still believe that the Clwydian Range should be designated as Wales’ newest National Park and will be continuing to campaign to this end.’
