Wales considers new national park proposal, sparking local debate over benefits and costs.

A proposal to establish a new national park in North Wales, covering the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley, is under public consultation. The 150-square-mile park would be the fourth in Wales and the first since 1957. Public opinion is divided, with concerns over impacts on local families, infrastructure, and housing prices. Flintshire County Council may oppose the plan, citing potential bureaucracy and costs. The final response will be debated on December 17th.
