Natural Resources Body for Wales (additional consultation)

I have to admit missing this first consultation by the Welsh Government earlier in the year to set up the Natural Resources Body for Wales, the new body will be a merger of Environment Agency Wales, Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) and Forestry Commission Wales, it currently has no name and will start work in April 2013.

But with the controversy over the appointment of Peter Matthews a former water industry executive from England who knows little about Wales as it’s Chair plus this new consultation from Environment Minster John Griffiths asking for views on what the Natural Resources body will do. 

With that in mind and the rubber stamping to set the body up by the Welsh Assembly before recess It’s worth all of us taking more interest in what the Welsh Government is doing to our natural resources given how valuable they are. And its good to know that some objections have already been raised  particularly the timber industry, lets see if others follow.
