So, I haven't been given any advice that that legislation needs to be looked at or refreshed. What I have been reassured of is that officers from Caerphilly council's environmental health team do respond to all complaints. I know there's a dust mitigation scheme for the site. I also know that Caerphilly council and NRW had a lot of complaints about this site. The council have also undertaken periodic dust monitoring within both Penybryn and Gelligaer communities. They have recorded dust levels typical of ambient levels, and also as a precaution they have installed a permanent PM10 monitor within the Penybryn community, which has been shared with Public Health Wales, who've not identified any concerns. But I'd be very happy to meet with the Member to discuss those particular points, if you think it would be helpful.
