P-06-1307 The Welsh Government should commit to the adoption of the maintenance of new housing estates by local authorities
This
petition was submitted by Eleri Lewis, having collected a total of 267
signatures.
Text of Petition:
The residents of the Mill,
a new estate in Canton, Cardiff are having to pay an annual fee of £102 for the
maintenance of a park bordering the estate. This payment must be made alongside
other maintenance payments covering the unadopted highways, green spaces etc.
Residents also must pay the full council tax required. Residents are not
provided with a detailed breakdown of the costs of the park, just a notice to
say they must pay the fee.
Additional Information:
The Mill was regarded as a
good example of Welsh Government policy due to its status as a mixed tenure
estate including affordable housing alongside freehold purchasing – therefore
with the current cost of living crisis we believe that the Welsh Government
should support residents on estates like The Mill by encouraging and
facilitating the adoption of maintenance by local authorities and to remove
these punitive charges.
