Question
What action plan does the Minister have in place to address the RAAC found in social housing in Hirwaun, Rhondda Cynon Taf?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing, Local Government and Planning
The social housing identified with RAAC in Hirwaun are owned and managed by the Registered Social Landlord Trivallis. Responsibility for Tenant engagement, support and any required repair work associated with the presence of RAAC rests with them as responsible owner. Officials are in regular contact with senior officers at Trivallis and we are aware that the landlord has acted swiftly to inform and support tenants, offer alternative accommodation and undertake urgent further surveys of the affected properties. Our thoughts are of course with the affected households at this difficult time.
