Peter Fox MS speaks on the impact of Storm Claudia in Monmouthshire

Transcript

00:00Whilst we recognise there has been some money available, made available to the county to do certain bits of work,

00:06and there's the Woodside scheme coming on, and the Scranton-Skenfrith project,

00:10the reality is that was in motion before we saw the scale of what we have now.

00:15And I would ask you to consider, and perhaps directly,

00:19is there likely to be direct support to residents and to businesses?

00:25Things that we've heard offered in other areas in similar situations.

00:30Those businesses are so anxious about what might happen next.

00:34Some of them, you know, they're just lost now,

00:38and it'll probably be the last straw for some in the future as they roll up toward Christmas.

00:45And if the council were to offer something as powerful as an NDR break for a short period, a holiday,

00:52will the government stand behind them and underwrite that,

01:06where they have to go into the state of Shaddaa.

01:08Here we go.

01:08We'll see them.

01:09Now go ahead.

01:10We'll see them.

01:11We'll see you next time.

01:11There you go.

01:12There you go.
