National Assembly for Wales

To propose that the Senedd:

1. Notes:

a) Natural Resources Wales’s 'Case for Change' agenda;

b) that 120 staff members are directly impacted by the changes proposed under ‘Case for Change’; and

c) that services provided by NRW will be reduced.

2. Regrets:

a) Natural Resources Wales’s decision to approve the ‘Case for Change’ proposals; and

b) the decision to close catering and retail operations at Coed y Brenin, Nant yr Arian and Ynyslas.

3. Believes that these closures will have a detrimental impact on the mid-Wales economy.

4. Calls on Natural Resources Wales to proactively engage with communities and organisations to expedite the process in order to avoid temporary closure of the centres.
