Question
Will Welsh Government officials seek regular meetings to support Flintshire County Council and Natural Resources Wales to expedite flood prevention work in Sandycroft and Pentre?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
This year we are providing Natural Resources Wales (NRW) with £800k for construction work to benefit the communities of Sandycroft and Pentre. We are also providing Flintshire County Council with £30k to prepare a resilience plan for the community.
My officials recently met NRW and Flintshire County Council to discuss the progress of both projects. My officials have also visited Sandycroft with officials from NRW. We will continue to support both risk management authorities as they seek to address the risk of flooding to the community.
