- 2 months ago
James Evans has urged the Welsh Government to make the most of the educational and tourism potential of disused metal mines.
The Brecon and Radnorshire MS said at the Senedd that the mines can be a danger to public health and waterways if they're not managed correctly.
But he added: “With the correct management and restoration, they can also have great potential for a focus for educational and tourism opportunities across Wales.
“Many of these mines are nestled in scenic areas, with footpaths, cycling paths and other developing tourism infrastructure.”
