Wonderful friendly and helpful staff, why get rid of an asset to the Brecon Beacons and Wales?

This centre is essential for planning visits to the area – please don't close it.

Shortsighted act to close Info centres.

Making something profitable requires thought and effort. Closure is always the easy option - the policy of ineffectual management.

A wonderful resource for locals and visitors together. Closure would have a huge impact on enjoyment for all which is an aim for the National park Authority.

Remarkable that the National Park Authority would even CONSIDER closing these two centres.

Me and my good friend always spend our time at the mountain centre when we go on bike rides, it's a really good place to have our lunch and have a break. My dad owns the company Forrest culture and sells his products throughout the year. Also I really enjoy the summer events to get together and spend time with my friends.

This is a stupid and shortsighted idea. The local and national economy desperately needs the revenue from visitors to this remarkable part of the world and those visitors want information and guidance about the history and geography of the area to make the most of their visit. They want this from real people who have the time and the knowledge to add so much fascinating detail to the whole experience.

Although I live in the Balearics I know loads of people who have visited the Centre and always speak highly of the helpful staff and I think it is a shame for it to close both for the staff and events and the visitors

In the past we have been aware of festivals and and promotions of local craft and business production. It is a vital community based facility.

It is short sighted to close the Visitors Centre. The park needs to be forward and outward thinking, to attract visitors and promote the qualities of the park - not the reverse.

The closure of this facility will in my opinion deter people from visiting the area , as the staff provide valuable information to walkers , without which could result in accidents, Also, many holiday makers like to purchase Welsh products from the well stocked shop . As i do myself , in fact I spent fifty pounds yesterday , between the shop and cafe .

we use the visitor center a lot. We had food there yesterday 28 1 2016and spent over £40 in the shop. To close it will be a crime. As usual it will not be people at the top with these daft ideas losing their jobs, but the important people that do the work. For shame.

Losing the Mountain centre information area would be little short of scandalous. I have taken groups of friends there many times since it first opened. The combination of situation and breadth of information and advice on all aspects of the park must be unique

Don't close this useful resource. We must welcome our visitors.

Why is it when one travels abroad one finds in most of Europe and beyond eager to promote what they value, and are proud to help and show all visitors that they are the best. Wales on the other hand looks at all these assets as a liability. Long term, they will pay a price by shooting them- selves in the foot..
