Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and expressed sympathy
for the petitioner and others affected by the impact of flooding. Members noted
that while progress appears to be planned, work is not expected to begin until
2027 and uncertainties remain around funding. The Committee agreed to keep the
petition open in the hope that the next Government will allocate funding to
support Neath Port Talbot and alleviate the hardship faced by local residents.
They also noted their earlier decision to include the issue of flood management
as a priority theme in the Committee’s legacy report.

Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and noted the
Council’s correspondence makes it clear that this is a complex process which
will not be concluded for at least another year. Members were satisfied with
the positive intentions from both Welsh Government and the local authority, and
that everything is being done to prioritise this work.
The Committee agreed to write to the local authority seeking
a further update and keep a watching brief on the issue. In doing so Members
also agreed to write to local Senedd Members to highlight the issue for their
attention.
Members noted the stress that the fear of flooding creates
and would therefore write back to the petitioner to emphasise that the issue is
being taken seriously and they will be kept informed of any updates.

Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and welcomed the Welsh Government’s decision to commit £765,000 to the local risk management authority, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, to develop a flood prevention scheme for Caenant Terrace. The Committee was concerned about the decision to delay the design and funding application process until early 2025 and agreed to write to the council to emphasise the need for work to progress as soon as possible. The Committee agreed to keep the petition open until a response was received.
