The Senedd's petitions committee was due to meet yesterday as part of a short inquiry into the impact of the Hafod landfill site on people living nearby in Wrexham.

However, the meeting was cancelled at late notice when Plaid Cymru's Luke Fletcher, Labour's Vaughan Gething, Conservative Joel James and independent Rhys ab Owen all sent apologies.

The Conservative group sent Gareth Davies as a substitute for Mr James, but Carolyn Thomas, Labour chairman of the committee, was the only other politician in attendance.
