Will the Cabinet Minister confirm how much of the funding allocated to Skenfrith has been spent on a) feasibility work; b) studies; c) business cases or design work, and d) physical flood prevention works?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability (Llyr Gruffydd)
Welsh Government funds our Risk Management Authorities (RMAs - namely Natural Resources Wales and Local Authorities) to deliver flood and coastal erosion schemes in Wales. This is delivered through the Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Programme.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is the RMA undertaking the scheme in Skenfrith.
NRW have confirmed the following breakdown. It is noted that stages a, b and c are all recorded under a single budget line, therefore they are unable to provide a more detailed breakdown of the values.
NRW are also progressing the delivery phase of the bespoke Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures to reduce the risk to residents while a potential wider flood alleviation scheme is developed.
