RIVER EWENNY

[martin]

VERY POOR FISHING MORNING DUE TO A SHEEN OF DIESEL COMING DOWN RIVER . THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED . THIS WAS ON THE DISABLED ANGLING SECTION OK ON LOWER SECTIONS OF RIVER AS IT HAD DISPERSED

[OAA]

A report was made to the Environment Agency yesterday regarding diesel/oil discharge near the Ford Factory and this was investigated.

I am currently awaiting an update from Environment Agency Wales.

oh did they attend then??
i wish i could say i am sorry to be flippant but there have been so many discharges into the ewenny over the last 18 months it is fast becoming a joke-or not as the case may be-a great pity EAW dont seem to take them as seriously or pursue prosecutions to send a clear message to the alleged polluters!!!
The LAST TIME I REPORTED A MAJOR DISCHARGE I DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE COURTESEY OF A REPLY OR FOLLOW UP AS I INDEED REQUESTED BUT SHOULD I REALLY BE SURPRISED-I THINK NOT

EA attended on Friday according to my source. I traced the pollution to the culvert by the Waterton Centerer. I spoke to a member of staff but came to the conclusion that if anyone was responsible it was probably a famous motor manufacturer in that general area. I have not had any feedback from the EA but did ask them to contact the secretary. Another one to watch

To date I have received no feedback from EAW.

However such is the frequency of pollutions and loss of amenity on the Ewenny, I shall be writing a formal letter to the area manager demanding that action is now taken against the polluters.
