Pa gamau y mae'r Gweinidog yn eu cymryd i wella a buddsoddi mewn amddiffynfeydd llifogydd yng ngogledd Cymru i sicrhau gwydnwch cymunedau a seilwaith yn wyneb y risg o lifogydd?
We have committed to fund additional flood protection for 45,000 homes this Senedd term. As part of our Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Programme, we agreed a 3-year capital budget (2022-2025), totalling £102 million. This allows us to better plan our investment, and to support at risk communities. This year (2023-24) we have made £8,256,941 capital funding available to Risk Management Authorities in North Wales. We estimate this funding will benefit 3002 properties. Our increased capital spend is matched by our highest revenue offer £225k per local authority to allow them to prioritise flood work.
Through our Coastal Risk Management Programme (CRMP), we have also made over £140 million to support the construction of eight schemes in North Wales, and a further two schemes are due to commence construction this year with an additional £9 million investment.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) also offers support on ‘What to do before, during and after a flood’ which is available on their website. I strongly encourage anyone concerned or affected by flooding to consult this support.
