According to as yet unconfirmed information, the controversial
Snowdonia Green Key proposals have been dropped.
Like we say, it's not yet official, but our source tells us that
the Welsh Tourist Board has concluded: 'It would be inappropriate to
proceed with the proposals as they currently stand.'
The plans, which involved shutting car parking spaces and instead
forcing visitors to park in 'gateway towns' then access the hills by
public transport, were fiercely unpopular with many locals who
believed that the scheme commandeered access to the mountains and
would actually drive visitors away from the area.
For a fuller summary of local objections to the scheme see the

More information when we have it. Have a good weekend.
