...and there seem to have been an awful lot of consultations going on.
The latest one is quite interesting, though - from 28th June to 6th September the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority is having a consultation on the appearance of Hay within the conservation area.
The draft consultation document is on their website - and can be found after a bit of digging (a search for Hay-on-Wye Consultation should get there). I tried the link on the letter that came through my door, and got asked for a password, but when I did a search, I got to it without the need for a password I didn't have.
The Draft Consultation document is 48 pages long, but it's interesting, with a potted history of the town, and is written in plain English with some good photos, including archive photos (of Broad Street in 1905, for instance).
The main problem they can see is the gradual changing of the character of buildings by replacing window frames, or drainpipes, or things like that, or painting houses and shops 'inappropriate colours' (the pictures to go with that were of Rose's Bookshop in shocking pink and the yellow house near the bridge).
There will be an exhibition day on Saturday 6th July at the Parish Hall from 10am to 3pm, with maps of the conservation area and so on. They are also asking for any comments - the person to contact is Rosie Burton, the Building Conservation Officer, who has an email at: rosie.burton@breconbeacons.org
