Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on the construction of flood defences in Porthcawl?
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs | Answered on 29/10/2024
The Welsh Government is providing Bridgend County Borough Council with £63k to develop the strategic outline case for a potential scheme at Newton-Nottage.
We have previously provided the local authority with over £8m to construct schemes at Town Beach and Sandy Bay. These completed works reduce flood risk to 946 properties within Porthcawl.
