Supporting documents:

Minutes:

Carolyn Thomas MS declared a relevant interest under Standing Order 17.24A in relation to Item 3.3 as the lead petitioner was her employee.

 

The Committee considered the petition and noted it was a worrying issue for the park home residents. It was agreed to keep the petition open and refer it to the successor Committee for handling petitions in the Seventh Senedd, with a view to that committee either writing to the Minister responsible for water reform - to ask what immediate regulatory action or measures can be taken – or for there to be further Ministerial scrutiny. Members also agreed to write to the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs to highlight, as part of the Water Reform Green Paper consultation, the petitioner’s views and recommendation that park home residents have their own water meters.

The Committee considered the petition and noted the responses from Ofwat and Dŵr Cymru, which expressed sympathy while also outlining their limitations.

The Committee also encouraged the petitioner to engage directly in the consultation on the UK and Welsh Government’s White Paper on water reforms.

The Chair repeated her earlier declaration of a relevant interest under Standing Order 17.24A as the petitioner is employed part-time in her office. Members agreed to write to Dwr Cymru Welsh Water to ask what it was doing to address the situation on this site, and to also write to Ofwat to ask for its view, whether it was aware of similar situations and what its advice would normally be. The petition would be kept open pending those responses.
