Tories seek voluntary approach as all-Wales NVZ looms
15 March 2021 |
An NVZ designation is set to roll out gradually across the whole of Wales starting from 1 April
The Welsh government has been urged to provide farmers with a voluntary approach before imposing an all-Wales nitrate vulnerable zone (NVZ).
A cross-parliamentary letter organised by Virginia Crosbie MP, and signed by eighteen Welsh Conservative Members, has been sent to Welsh government.
The letter states that farmers should voluntarily tackle water pollution instead of introducing compulsory regulations which soon come into effect.
A vote on a motion to annul the controversial all-Wales NVZ rules was narrowly lost in the Senedd earlier this month.
