As you will read, the decision to continue with a feasibility study was only passed by one vote. We would like to know who was present and who voted to continue spending rate payers money on a proposal none of us want. At least they acknowledge our Association and our right to have a say on our local 'public open space'. If like us you would like a few questions answers, please use the forms below and use the Freedom of Information Act. The more people who ask questions the better to make public bodies more accountable to the people who pay the wages and provide the funding through rates and taxes.
Information Notice regarding the feasibility of introducing grazing livestock to Bryn Euryn Local Nature Reserve
Following the concern raised by members of the public to the idea of Conwy County Borough Council investigating the feasibility of introducing grazing livestock to Bryn Euryn Local Nature Reserve (LNR) to manage the grasslands, a meeting was held on site this week of the Bryn Euryn LNR Management Advisory Group.
The members looked at the grassland areas and informally discussed the various issues around the idea of introducing grazing livestock to help manage the grasslands for which the site is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
After thoughtful discussion, a vote followed, whereby it was agreed by 4 to 3, that Conwy County Borough Council Countryside Officers should continue to gather information towards assessing the feasibility of introducing grazing livestock to the Bryn, and that this feasibility study should be presented to a formal meeting of the group in October/November 2009. It was also agreed that a relevant representative of the ‘Bryn Euryn Users Association’ should be invited to attend this meeting.
The Committee is anxious to underline the fact that no decisions have yet been made, and that full consultation will take place with the public if a decision to continue is taken after the feasibility study has been completed.

"It was also agreed that a relevant representative of the ‘Bryn Euryn Users Association’ should be invited to attend this meeting"
ReplyDeleteLets hope this means the user association will then be invited to all meetings to do with the Bryn?
"full consultation will take place with the public if a decision to continue is taken after the feasibility study has been completed"
So once they decide to continue fencing off the Bryn they will consult with the Public? This is madness, public consultation so take before they decide to continue and should be a factor in their decision making process!!
