P-04-347 Property and Asset Review

Petition wording:

We call upon the National Assembly and the Welsh Government to carry out an Asset and Property Review of their respective buildings and or properties to reduce the number of properties that are underutilised and to use the capital saved to fund the 21st Century School’s Programme.

Supporting information:
The National Assembly have offices in Princess Drive, Colwyn Bay, whilst the Welsh Government have offices at Llandudno Junction which are underutilised and partially empty. There is no justification in these financially straightened times for Welsh taxpayers to fund two building so close to each other. It is appreciated the WG and the NAfW are 2 separate organisations buth there is no reason why they cannot share the same building. The same situation probably arises in other areas of Wales as well
