Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Housing and Local Government – in the Senedd at 3:02 pm on 14 October 2020.
Thank you, Minister, for that answer. In the 13 years that I've been an Assembly Member, I cannot think that I've had such heartbreaking stories brought to my regional office, and meetings with residents on this particular issue, where no fault at all is attributed to the residents, and a clear line of fault lies with the original builders of the sites and the implementation of the building regulations. The First Minister yesterday, in response to questioning on this, touched on the moral obligation that builders who erected these structures should have in putting the works right. What help can you afford residents, and offer to residents, when it comes to turning those words of moral obligations to real actions on the ground, so that residents aren't left in this state of limbo and, ultimately, end up picking up the tab themselves?
