The Minister will recall that, on a number of occasions, I've raised issues relating to operations at Gelliargwellt Uchaf Farm in Gelligaer in my constituency, and the operations run under the banner of Bryn Group, which is the business there. The site run by Bryn Group includes a quarry for the supply of aggregates and, as such, blasting takes place on a regular basis. I get a lot of complaints from residents about dust nuisance and vibrations across the community of Gelligaer. Dust is a nuisance by-product, and residents feel strongly that it's having a detrimental impact on the local environment and on their lives. It can also be seen at nearby Llancaiach Fawr Manor, so there is a question of whether that has an impact on tourism as well.

I understand the Environmental Protection Act 1990 is the Act that Caerphilly County Borough Council defers to when considering action against statutory nuisance complaints, and that Act doesn't provide enough power to deal with these issues in the community of Gelligaer. Therefore, does the Minister feel that legislative change is required so that the impact of dust nuisance can be dealt with more effectively by local authorities, and particularly by Caerphilly County Borough Council in this instance, in order to deal with what is becoming an increasing problem?
