Question
How is the Welsh Government encouraging local authorities to list buildings locally, given that authorities such as Cardiff Council has not listed a building since 1997?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip
Cadw encourages local authorities to produce local lists through its day to day communications with conservation staff in local authorities. Cadw has also produced comprehensive guidance promoting local listing but it is ultimately a matter for each authority to decide on the priority it allocates to such activity.
I wrote to the Leader of Cardiff City Council last November on this subject, suggesting that the Council may wish to consider updating its local list to include pubs in the city that may be under threat.
