Text of Petition
We the undersigned call
upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to consider
our proposal to officially name the much needed, & historic, new road
section of the A483, the ‘Newtown Brimmon Oak bypass’.
In recognition of the
enormously positive publicity and attention that one of the most significant
‘Natural Monuments’ of Montgomeryshire, namely the Brimmon Oak, has brought to
Newtown, to the region and to Wales.
Firstly becoming ‘Welsh
Tree of the year’, followed by winning the title of ‘UK Tree of the year’ shown
on national TV , and ultimately, in being awarded second place in the highly
prestigious European Tree of the year contest (2017) in a much reported
ceremony in the EU Parliament Brussels. We feel that this culturally
significant ancient Welsh Oak tree that has now become known throughout Wales,
the UK & indeed around the globe be honoured in this ultimately fitting
manner.
