Campaigners call for devolution of Crown Estates
Llyn Padarn, Llanberis, Gwynedd, July 28, 2021

A NEW campaign to devolve the Crown Estates to Wales will be formally launched at Westminster later this month.

Welsh housing justice charter group Siarter Cartrefi, in partnership with Labour MP Beth Winter and Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader Liz Saville-Roberts, will launch its campaign on January 30.

Siarter Cartrefi’s Catrin O Neill said: “Wales should benefit directly from the profits of renewable energy and use this money to address the poverty and inequality in communities across Wales.”
