The eagerly awaited report commissioned by the Snowdonia Green Key Partnership is now available.

The Partnership welcomes such a frank report and recommendations made. On the basis of these recommendations and the outcomes of the consultation period the Partnership accepts that the emphasis, direction and means by which the Initiative is implemented must change. The Partnership hopes to work with various communities, user groups and other bodies over the coming months to identify ways of improving the local tourism product and of developing public transport such that it becomes a realistic and enjoyable complement to the car rather than a compulsory substitute to it.

The report signals the beginning of an important phase for the Initiative. The Partnership looks forward to working with communities and other bodies in Northern Snowdonia in order to identify methods of delivering the recommendations made that will in turn bring benefits to the economy and environment of northern Snowdonia.

The partnership remains fully committed to the Initiative and to the overarching principle of promoting a more sustainable approach towards tourism, public transport and economic development in Northern Snowdonia.

The report will be available on the Gwynedd Council, Conwy County Borough Council and Snowdonia National Park Authority web sites as well as local libraries.
