Plans to fence off large parts of the reserve for grazing as part of the sustainable management of rare grasses on the site had been put forward by Conwy County Borough Council officers. They met with fierce opposition from locals.

 

The recently established Bryn Euryn Users Association has also been invited to permanent representation on the Management Advisory Group in the future. 

 

Darren Millar said, 'I'm delighted that these unpopular proposals have been kicked into touch - they should never have seen the light of day in the first place.

 

'It is a great shame that the council did not see fit to drop the proposals altogether following the public meeting which was held in July, that said, at least the voice of the people prevailed in the end.

 

'As a result of this decision, users of the Bryn, including those who exercise there dogs, will still be able to enjoy unrestricted access to what is one of the few open green spaces left in the Rhos area.

 

'I want to pay tribute to the recently established Bryn Euryn Users Association for their hard work in securing this important victory - it has been a pleasure to campaign alongside them.'

 

'Their involvement of the Association in the management of the reserve going forward is excellent news and should assist in preventing stand offs like this in the future.'
