YesCymru take campaign letter to Downing Street
Directors Rob Hughes and Sam Murphy took the letter to 10 Downing Street as part of a national campaign for control of assets and revenues in Wales.
The campaign has already garnered support from all 22 local authorities in Wales, the Senedd, and 75 per cent of the Welsh public.
YesCymru argues that transferring control of these assets to Wales, as has already happened in Scotland, would support local economies and promote sustainable development.
Mr Hughes said: "Wales has been overlooked and undervalued for far too long.
"All we're asking for is fairness, and when that's denied, more and more people see independence as the only way forward.
"This united support across Wales shows that YesCymru can bring people together behind a clear demand, and that real change is possible when voices across the country speak as one."
Torfaen Council was the last Welsh local authority to back the transfer of Crown Estate powers, with a motion passed on June 10.
The Crown Estate in Wales, worth over £850 million, currently sends its profits straight to the UK Treasury.
