Why this petition matters

Started by Rhodri Williams

The Crown Estate, which holds the rights to seabeds around the British Isles, is a collection of lands and holdings in the United Kingdom belonging to the British monarch.

However, powers over the management of Crown Estate in Wales are still held in Westminster, and the revenues proceed directly to the UK Government’s Treasury. Control of the crown estate has already been transferred over to the Scottish Government back in 2016. 

The value of the Crown Estate Wales’ renewable assets grew from £49.2m in 2020 to £549.1m in 2021. 

This is money that would enable Wales to build and develop our own Welsh renewable energy industry rather than selling off our assets to the highest foreign bidder. 

Please signs and share and show Simon Hart Secretary for Wales that there IS a public interest and desire for this money to be transferred to the Senedd.

Remember this has already happened in Scotland why are we treated differently?
