I absolutely agree that, if your home is flooded, it is heartbreaking and very, very traumatic, and we want to do all we can to protect as many homes as possible. You will have heard me say in my earlier answer to Jack Sargeant that this Welsh Government has put in over £360 million into our flood management schemes over the term of this Government. So, the money is there, the funding is there; every local authority knows that they can come forward. We actually want a pipeline of flood defence schemes. I don't want the money to sit there and not be spent, so we've encouraged all local authorities to come forward. So, there is wider engagement with every local authority in Wales around that. 

In response to your specific concerns around—. The residents don't need a petition; the funding is there. It's up to the local authority to come forward with what they think is required. My officials are very keen to work with all local authorities and Natural Resources Wales to make sure we have that pipeline of schemes to spend that significant funding on. To date, the engagement we've had with Flintshire County Council is that there are 37 properties that had internal flooding following storm Christoph. So, I do appreciate it wasn't just localised in the Sandycroft area, and, as we get more information coming in from the investigations, it could be that, unfortunately, we would find there has been an increase in the numbers. I do understand that, obviously, Sandycroft and Pentre had a similar event last year and of course that always increases tensions, and I absolutely understand that they are demanding action, and they are right to do that. But I do want to assure Jack Sargeant's constituents that we are here to help, and it is really important that Flintshire council work closely with Welsh Government and other partners to come forward with solutions.
