Question
How is the Welsh Government supporting the wellbeing of residents living in RAAC-identified properties in Hirwaun, after the potential disruption of moving at short notice?
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.
