Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:15 pm on 25 January 2022.
Can I thank the First Minister for his answer? There is serious pollution in the River Tawe, especially as it travels through Swansea. We've previously had questions on pollution in the River Wye, but the Tawe also has discharge, as the First Minister mentioned, from Trebanos treatment works, and waste materials, such as parts of trees and plastic, are causing pollution. I'm told there is evidence of eutrophication on the Tawe. My constituents feel there is inadequate action by NRW—those are the ones who think there's any action at all. Will the First Minister raise the important issues around river pollution and possible action to reduce and eliminate them in discussions with Cabinet colleagues as a matter of urgency?
