🌊 Save the River Cleddau! 🌊
There’s a passionate call for action to rescue the River Cleddau, one of Wales’ most polluted rivers, suffering from decades of neglect. Local residents and campaigners are urging Pembrokeshire County Council to implement a Clean Rivers Policy to restore the river to its former glory.
The Cleddau, which flows through the heart of Pembrokeshire, plays a vital role in the county’s prosperity, but its deteriorating condition threatens both local businesses and public health. The petition highlights the need for effective regulation and a public commitment from officials to prioritize the river’s health.
Earlier this year, MP Henry Tufnell joined forces with environmental specialists and local representatives to address these pressing water quality issues. At a gathering hosted by The Cleddau Project, key points such as contamination sources and regulatory failures were discussed. Representatives from pivotal organisations including Welsh Water, Natural Resources Wales, and Cardiff University were in attendance, reinforcing the urgency of the situation.
The event stressed the importance of tackling pollution at its source and holding regulatory bodies accountable. Mr. Tufnell vows to continue the fight for cleaner water, emphasizing the enduring significance of the Cleddau as a natural resource for future generations.
With over 150 community members attending a recent meeting, it’s clear that restoring the Cleddau is a top priority. If the petition gathers 500 signatures, it will be presented at a council session, and even 100 signatures will prompt a council committee discussion.
Are you ready to join the fight for cleaner waters? Let’s safeguard the Cleddau for our communities and future generations. 🌿✨ #SaveTheCleddau #CleanRivers #EnvironmentalAction
