Question
What discussions has the Welsh Government conducted with residents and other partners regarding building safety and fire protection cladding for properties in Victoria Wharf in Cardiff?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
In July and August 2020 my officials responded to a coordinated letter campaign from residents at Victoria Wharf, who raised Building Safety concerns and associated issues as a result, such as increased services charges.
Following this, on 17 September 2020, my officials attended a meeting with representatives from the Victoria Wharf Residents Association (RA). Representatives from the Shared Regulatory Service (covering Cardiff Vale and Bridgend councils) and the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service also attended this meeting.
On 5 November 2020, I attended a virtual meeting, hosted by my colleague Vaughan Gething, with the RA of Victoria Wharf. This was also attended by Stephen Doughty MP and Grangetown councillors.
