Valleys Landscape Park stakeholder events
In
his role as Chair of the Valleys Taskforce the Cabinet Secretary for Local
Government and Public Services will visit three areas across the valleys to
discuss his proposals for a “Valleys Landscape Park” with community
stakeholders. The aims for the proposal are to invest in the

outstanding and accessible recreational opportunities, engender community pride
in the Valleys and enhance Valleys town centres as vibrant places, with
attractive green spaces, which support local economies.
By
implementing the actions set out in the plan the Valleys will become a place
where communities are empowered, and the local environment is easily
accessible, widely used and at the heart of Valleys life.
