Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 10 January 2018.
To a degree, I think we were fortunate that the incident took place where it did. As the Member highlighted, it could have been far more devastating in terms of consequences. But, I would also like to place on record my thanks to the local authority, which did a sterling job in ensuring that the aftermath of the incident was properly dealt with. While we are responsible for trunk roads in Wales, I'm more than happy for my officials to work with local authority officials, as has been the case recently concerning flooding on Anglesey. I'm pleased to say that the Cabinet Secretary for Finance will be meeting with the Welsh Local Government Association in the coming weeks to discuss the state of the local road network, and how we can work together to ensure that best practice is deployed across Wales, and to ensure that we are working with our local authority partners to ensure that our roads are clear and in good condition.
