The petition of residents of Cefn Mawr in Clwyd South,
Declares that nature parks are an important part of our environmental heritage; further that they provide an area in which residents and visitors can enjoy nature and open spaces and play a vital role in the conversation and protection of nature; and further that local country parks including Ty Mawr Country Park, Nant Mill Country Park and Alyn Waters Country Park are well used by the community and attract visitors to the area, therefore helping to support the local economy.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to urge Wrexham County Borough Council to reverse their decision to reduce funding for Park Rangers, whose role is vital to the continued existence of unspoilt country parks in Clwyd South constituency.
And the petitioners remain, etc.—[Presented by Susan Elan Jones, Official Report, 18 April 2018; Vol. 639, c. 377.]

Observations from the Secretary of State for Wales (Alun Cairns):
Local government in Wales is the responsibility of the National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Government. Therefore, it would not be appropriate for the UK Government to comment on this issue.
