The group
was formed on 8 January, 2002 to prepare a response to the Snowdonia Green
Key Strategy
document by the revised deadline of 4 March 2002.
Most of
the observations shown here have been sent directly to the Snowdonia Green
Key Project Officer with a copy to Freedom to Choose - Snowdonia.
We think it is important that you can see the kind of observations being
made and form your own opinions about them (open government or
even E-Government!). Most are also displayed
here anonymously - the arguments should stand or fall by the points
expressed and not be coloured by any pre-judgement about who makes them. All the more important then, If your observations have not been sent
directly, you should do so (see also Observation
40).
The decision process for obtaining European Objective One funding requires
evidence of positive public support. You might wish to make your
views known to your elected representatives. There are links from
our Addresses page that will help you obtain
the information you need to do this. There are also questionnaires
you can complete and distribute.
The Freedom to choose - Snowdonia group will make a response which will attempt
to consolidate the points made here into a single response so keep them
coming! To add strength to our campaign it would help if you would support us. (Thanks to all of you from
all over the country who are joining)

Observations 2 – 76 above have
been included with our Group response submitted to the Snowdonia Green Key
Project Officer on 4/3/02.
We will continue to post further
observations where they give new information and to provide progress reports
on the consultation process.
We would particularly appreciate
constructive suggestions as to what might be included in a plan for
sustainable development.
We would also like to emphasise
that the Snowdonia Green Key Strategy Statement is a consultation
document. This means that Park & Ride and restrictions on parking are
proposals only – they are not about to be implemented.
The communities in this area need
your support so please continue to visit! and enjoy yourselves while doing
so.
