Minutes:
On the basis that the campaigners have succeeded in their aim to have the flood risk reassessed prior to any work further being done in the park, and as Natural Resources Wales does not intend to undertake further work at the current time, the Committee agreed that there is no further action that it can take before the end of this Senedd term. The Committee congratulated the petitioners on their success and closed the petition.
In doing so, Members agreed to write to urge Natural
Resources Wales to share their reassessment of the final phase of the Roath
Flood Scheme with the petitioners at the earliest convenience.

Neil

He
has campaigned on the issue.
The
Committee considered the petition for the first time and agreed to write to:

- their response to the petitioners’
proposal that the current risk of flooding should be recalculated
following the completion of Phase 1 and 2 work;
- further details about the methodology
of the options appraisal conducted during the design of the scheme and
the results of that appraisal;
- an update on the outcomes arising from
recent discussions with the local community; and
- how schemes are prioritised on an
all-Wales basis, particularly taking account of the views of the local
community.
- Cardiff Council to ask for their views
on the suggestion that an alternative approach could be to raise and lower
the height of the water level in Roath Park Lake to manage flood risk
downstream.
