Press Release from David Jones MP

Many thanks to the local MP for such great support on such a busy day in Parliament!

News Release
HANDS OFF BRYN EURYN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Westminster, 22 June, 2009

Clwyd West MP, David Jones, will address a public meeting on Saturday, 27 June, to protest at council proposals to turn over part of the Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve, Rhos on Sea, to grazing.

Under plans announce by the reserve’s management committee, livestock will be put on the land for up to four months of the year.

David Jones said:

“Bryn Euryn is a valued local facility, popular with walkers, especially those with dogs. I have walked there with my own dog, and can well understand the concern of local residents.

“I strongly suspect that the proposal is an attempt to save the cost of strimming and to recover some revenue by way of rent.

“I will be attending the meeting on Saturday to draw attention to public concern over this misconceived proposal.

“We are living in gloomy enough times, without being deprived of valued recreational facilities.

“I very much hope that the reserve’s management committee will take note of the public concern and drop this extremely unpopular plan.”

Note to editors:

The public meeting will take place at the Nature Reserve car park at 10.30 a.m. on Saturday, 27 June.
