Bathing Water Status for Ogwen Bank


The residents of Bethesda have been swimming at Ogwen Bank for over a hundred years; now we want to know that the waters are safe! Natural Resources Wales are the body that are responsible for testing our waters and are HOPELESS!

Why is this important?

We need to prove to the Senedd that a lot of people swim there!

The FIRST overflow discharge site with a permit allows unspecified, untreated "Trade" effluent into the River Ogwen near its source!!!! I've long suspected that the micro flora and fauna of the Ogwen have been decimated in recent years and THAT is one of the reasons that there are NO migratory fish!!!
We NEED to "Go back to Nature" and stop these disgusting "permits' to pollute!!
email me if you agree!

I've included this photo to show just HOW uncaring and stupid are the recent works on the dam which is part of North Wales FIRST hydro power system and thus invaluable as an archaeological resource. The stainless steel is on the wrong side of the concrete: they should be there to protect the concrete NOT just decorate it!!!
