What role, if any, did the Cabinet Secretary play in the decision by Natural Resources Wales to postpone tree felling works in Roath Mill Gardens and Roath Brook Gardens?

Answered by Minister for Environment | Answered on 20/12/2017

The Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs played no role in postponing the tree felling works in Roath Mill Gardens and Roath Brook Garden.

I asked Natural Resources Wales to pause works at Roath Brook and Roath Mill Gardens in order to provide additional clarity and demonstrate due consideration had been given to all options for reducing flood risk whilst minimising the impact of the scheme on the local area.
