Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm what factors were taken into account when determing the necessity of the flood defence schemes at Roath Mill Gardens and Waterloo Gardens?

Answered by Minister for Environment | Answered on 16/01/2018

The flood programme is prioritised according to flood risk. NRW is the responsible authority for managing risk from main rivers and the sea and the case for alleviation work along Roath Brook watercourse came through NRWs programme board as a priority scheme, taking into account historic flooding and near-misses, detailed flood models and the Communities at Risk Register.
