Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:37 pm on 14 February 2018.
David Rowlands, thank you very much indeed for your contribution—and Nick Ramsay—emphasising the real health and safety issues and the need to change the planning law. And a very powerful presentation, once again, from Hefin David here, about the huge number of unadopted roads and the abuse suffered by constituents, and the same point made by Rhun as well. So, it's obviously—. It's pan-Wales, how people are treated, with a very honest problem that demands resolution.
Thank you again to Darren Millar, outlining the same issues again, in Kinmel Bay, with the poor condition of roads, with the frail and elderly people—seagulls this time, not ducks—but obviously the huge, unaffordable costs to adopt, and we need innovative solutions.
Diolch yn fawr, Vikki. Thank you very much indeed, Vikki. And also the point that it's unadopted estates as much as unadopted roads, and that house builders—. It's not just about the house builders that have gone into liquidation; it's about the house builders that are very much nowhere near going into liquidation that are profiting on this experience. And similar points made by Mick as well, in terms of linking it with the leasehold issue as well, and the change in planning. And that national insurance situation is something, again, a national taskforce could bring together. And thank you, also, Michelle Brown, for also making that planning consent point as well, particularly on the new build estates.
And, as I started, reiterating thanks to the Cabinet Secretary for responding positively to what has been a very powerful debate with wholesale support from all sides—yes, we've had some high emotion and passion and stuff, but it does show this National Assembly to be a true national body when we can come together with our local challenges and demand a national solution. So, support the motion. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi.
