The Isle of Anglesey County Council is exploring ways of how a local beauty spot can create more economic, social and environmental benefits.
A consultation on possible developments at the Holyhead Breakwater Country Park will also focus on making it self-sustaining in line with the County Council’s recently announced affordable priorities programme.
Consultants Pleydell Smithyman Limited have been commissioned to produce a realistic and deliverable development plan for the site.
The local community and visitors to the park are to be given an opportunity to get involved and share their ideas. A drop in session will be held at the park on Saturday, 24th April 2010 between 12 noon and 4.00pm.
Anglesey’s Head of Planning Services, Jim Woodock, said, “The Country Park is a space for recreation, exploration, education and the community, so the consultants want to meet and hear from both the local community and visitors to the Park. This session will provide people with a chance to say how they use the site, what they like about it, what they don’t and how they’d like to see Holyhead Breakwater Country Park develop in the future.”
“The consultation session is about giving the community an opportunity at an early stage to have their say, get involved and share their thoughts and ideas.”
The Site Development Plan is being funded through the County Council’s Development of Anglesey’s Coastal Environment Project which aims to develop on-shore and off-shore facilities to maximise economic benefits and impacts from the coastline of Anglesey.
Funding for the project has been secured from the European Union’s Convergence Programme – European Regional Development Fund (ERDF); Welsh Assembly Government’s Môn a Menai Programme and Targeted Match Fund and Isle of Anglesey County Council.
