    BSW Timber Response to Consultation on the Natural Resources Body for Wales (additional consultation) Your name: Hamish Macleod Organisation (if applicable): BSW Timber Email / telephone number: [email protected] / 01228 674221 Consultation questions Question 1: Do you agree with our proposal for the duties of the body in respect of conservation and natural beauty? Yes /Mainly/Not at all Question 2: Do you agree with the proposals in respect of public access and recreation duties? Yes/ Mainly/Not at all If not how would you change it? : BSW Timber is the UK’s largest domestic sawmilling group, processing around fifteen per cent of the UK timber harvest. The group has an annual turnover in excess of £175m, directly employing over 900 people; indirect employment in timber harvesting and haulage accounts for another 2,500 jobs. The company has six mills in the UK (and one in Latvia), including one in Newbridge-on-Wye. It has been involved in sawmilling since 1848. The company is currently implementing a five-year capital investment programme, worth £52m, in modernising the mills and expanding capacity to produce more than 1.3 million m3. As such it is one of the largest buyers of timber in the UK. BSW has invested £6m in the Newbridge mill over the past five years. This has allowed for an extension of working hours and the creation of 29 full-time jobs in addition to the 140 full-time staff already employed at the mill. BSW is supportive of the Welsh Government’s efforts to streamline environmental management in Wales through the creation of a single delivery body.

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.
