Labour councillors have also criticised the motion for proposing that no new homes are built in the area and have called on the Plaid Cymru group leadership to disown it. The motion noted there were “a number of localised flooding issues across the ward” caused by issues such as run-off of water into residential areas from Bedwas mountain, overflow from the the lagoon at Bedwas tip and blocked drains from fallen leaves leading to flooding in Trethomas. It said: “This council resolves to urge the relevant authorities, Caerphilly County Borough Council and Natural Resources Wales to draw up a plan outlining measures to tackle and solve these issues.
