“With the recent devastating flooding seen in Spain, we have to be prepared for the increased risk of severe flooding here in Wales and the destruction it causes.
“Heavy rainfall is placing significant strain on Wales’ reservoir infrastructure, £25m has been offered for coal tip safety, yet private reservoirs are left to the responsibility of the landowner with no funding made available to support them.
