Clwyd West Conservative Member of Parliament, David Jones, has welcomed the announcement that the Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve will not, after all, be used for the grazing of livestock.

The announcement was made by the Bryn Euryn Management Committee after considering a feasibility study into the proposal, which had met with widespread opposition from users of Bryn Euryn.

David Jones said:

“This was a misconceived and, frankly, mean-spirited proposal which would have ruined the enjoyment of hundreds of people who walk Bryn Euryn on a daily basis.

“Bryn Euryn has always been used entirely for leisure purposes and the possibility of introducing livestock onto the site was generally unwelcome.

“Users of Bryn Euryn fought a vigorous and very effective campaign, starting with the rally in June, and continuing with the very well attended and robust meeting in September.

“I hope that the management committee will now realise the strength of local feeling on this issue and work with the Bryn Euryn Users Group to develop and improve the nature reserve as a public asset.”
