Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether dredging has ever been considered as an option to combat potential flooding at Roath Mill Gardens, Roath Brook Gardens and Waterloo Gardens?

NRW considered dredging and raising levels at Roath Park Lake. These options were discounted due to the additional works required at the lake and their potential detrimental impact. Deepening the channel also has negligible effect on tidal flood risk at Waterloo and Railway Gardens.
