Is Wales' holiday homes policy causing more harm than good?

The Welsh Government is reviewing the controversial 182-day holiday let rule after growing criticism from business owners, campaigners and politicians. In this episode of Senedd Sources, we ask whether the policy has backfired—and what happens next.

This week, we dive into one of the biggest political debates in Wales, hearing from representatives of the Professional Association of Self Caterers (PASC UK Cymru), who argue the current rules are putting tourism businesses under huge financial pressure and taking a serious toll on people's mental health. We explore whether the policy is achieving its original aims, what changes could be on the horizon, and why this issue continues to divide opinion across Wales.

We also discuss:

🔹 The latest on the quarry flooding investigation and the political response after homes were evacuated.

🔹 How Plaid Cymru's new government is using the National Eisteddfod to unveil major policy announcements.

🔹 Whether the government's first 100 days are living up to expectations.

🔹 The biggest stories shaping Welsh politics this week.
