Text of the
Petition
Natural Resources
Wales (Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru) needS tighter governance and scrutiny. Stop
turning profitable agricultural land into habitat & SSSI areas where the
farmer has to comply with even more restrictions in order attempt to make a
living!
NRW (Environmental side) are currently an organization made up of officers not
willing to listen to local knowledge, and will only advise in accordance with
what they can read from books! They have only one aim in life, and that is to
turn our countryside into a massive unprofitable nature reserve at the expense
of the taxpayer and rural communities at large! They need closer scrutiny from
our elected representatives!
Therefore, we call
on the Assembly to review the current practices and policies of NRW in respect
of the way that it administers land subject to, or annexed into habitat or SSSI
areas. The body is currently making more damage to the countryside than good! A
balance needs to be struck that will benefit all.
