Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition, acknowledging the importance of the issues raised and the need to take actions to resolve all the issues related to flood prevention and climate change. Parties would be setting out their position on climate change resilience and flood management in their manifestos. It was scrutinised by the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee (CCEI), but there was nothing further the Petitions Committee could do on the petition at this point in the Senedd term other than highlight it with the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs and the CCEI Committee. It had already been agreed to highlight flooding and water quality in the Committee’s legacy report as a hot topic.
