Agenda

Question:

Today the 30^th January is the 1,000^th day since the farmhouse at Glanyrafon, Painscastle was burnt down by a serious fire and to date little or no action has been taken to rebuild / replace the farm house, while we have seen France largely rebuild the Notre Dame during that period.

The tenants of the County Farm are now about to face a third lambing while living in the temporary accommodation on site, when in my view the rebuild should have been completed within 9 – 12 months and not the 3 plus years it is going to be.

I am aware that the Council has now submitted a planning application in respect to the replacement of the farmhouse.

Can I ask the following questions: -

1. Can you provide details of the actions taken to date by the Authority in respect to the replacement of the house and the reasons why there has been such a long delay in the process.
2. What is the expected date when the replacement farm house will be completed and my ward members will be able to move in to their new home?
3. What actions have you put in place or intend to put into place to ensure such a similar situation does not occur again in the future?
