Welsh Government's £250K grant to 'count moths on the Great Orme is crazy'
- In February 2024, the Labour-led Welsh Government granted £248,348 from the Nature Networks Fund to support a biodiversity project focused on surveying moth populations in the Creuddyn peninsula.
- The grant from the Nature Networks Fund supports a survey of moth populations in limestone habitats, aiming to protect rare invertebrates including a micro-moth species.
- The project involves schools and partners like Conwy County Borough Council, Butterfly Conservation, and Natural Resources Wales to inform future conservation strategies.
- Conservative councillor Louise Emery called spending £250,000 on counting moths 'crazy' amid tightening local authority budgets and said the government should fund basic public amenities instead.
- While the Welsh Government said the grant targets specific projects and cannot fund other services, critics argue the allocation reflects a misprioritization during financial pressures on councils.
