national park

Two women have died following an incident in Wales' largest national park.

The road crosses the south Wales coalfields, a national park and twists mightily close to people's homes, especially in Merthyr where the final section of roadworks were done.

Ministers had previously been set to give permission for the development, overturning the national park authority which said it did not comply with environmental and nature conservation policies.

But Flynn explained that the national park had more restrictions and less privacy while Dead Horse offered equally monumental vistas.

Charging tourists to visit the Peak District could be the solution to "unprecedented" financial woes, according to the leader of the authority running the national park.
