2 years of poor bathing water in Ogmore by Sea. Billions of litres of raw sewage pumped into the Ogmore river. 300% increase in discharges from the Welsh Water treatment works with dangerous levels of e.coli in the water. Feargal Sharkey could you help by sharing please? 🤞🏻

I’d like to thank Continental Tyres for helping fund the river clean this year. We aim to remove 15,000 end of life tyres from the river once and for all with a view to improving the health of the river for future generations. 🛞

Looking back to 2023, we took 2000 tyres from the river. May 2025 will see 5 days of action to remove 13,000 more! We would love your support & thank all who are helping us deliver this river restoration for future generations. 👍🏻

Thank you Keep Wales Tidy for providing us with litter bags to remove all of this rubbish from our river. Mainly drinks bottles washed down or up the estuary. At least this lot won’t be causing any more harm to the environment. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A brief update on matters on the Ogmore catchment. Will today’s news about tighter water regulations mean a step change for Welsh rivers? We can hope!

I wonder how many bonuses will be paid to the executives for this appalling performance? Welsh Water when will you provide the answer to that question? When will you stop filling our rivers with sewage? Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales when will you clamp down on this unacceptable operation?

nation.cymru/news/pay-to-po… Feargal Sharkey is this happening in England? £Millions paid by Welsh Water to Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales for the right to discharge sewage into our rivers. Is it hush money? We see very few prosecutions. How does this £50m look with very few prosecutions?

This Friday at 7pm, the river clean will feature on ITV Wales’ Coast & Country programme. Tune in to see how we did and to see who took part. Thank you to everyone who supported the project and who continue to do so. Feargal Sharkey, water quality next….

For those who might like to watch our river clean efforts, ITV Coast and Country featured us on their national programme. A great bit of TV which really gives a good insight into what we have been doing for the last 6 years to clean up the river Ogmore. itv.com/walesprogramme…
