Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 21 September 2022.
Thank you, Deputy Minister. On 8 August, I attended a public meeting in Hirwaun arranged by local councillors Karen Morgan and Adam Rogers. It was clear that the work was having a major impact on individuals and businesses, and although there was an acknowledgement of the impact from Future Valleys Construction and Rhondda Cynon Taf council, it was clear that there were no short-term solutions to the problems raised, including major concerns regarding safety following an increase in accidents in the area due to the work. May I invite the Minister to visit the area and to meet local councillors and residents to see the impact of this work—work commissioned by the Government—and work with Future Valleys Construction, through Transport for Wales, to seek urgent solutions before someone is seriously injured or killed in an accident, and before businesses in the area fail due to the impact on them?
