Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:41 pm on 27 September 2022.
I’d like to start by welcoming this statement and the fact that Wales is the first country in the UK to introduce a complete ban on snares and glue traps. I’m also pleased to see the introduction of an objective to promote public access to the countryside. Will the Minister please confirm for me that compliance with right of way maintenance will be a core part of the scheme, and to set out how the scheme will help encourage engagement with public rights of way officers and ramblers, who help maintain them? Thank you.
