Developers agree to pay £150,000 after River Alyn tributary polluted

TWO construction companies have agreed to pay a total of £150,000 after repeated pollution incidents at a tributary of the River Alyn in Wrexham.
Bellway Homes Ltd and Anwyl Construction Ltd caused repeated pollution incidents into Singrett Brook.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said the firms, responsible for the Maes y Rhedyn and Fern Meadow/Dol Rhedyn housing developments, caused several silt pollution incidents between 2022 and 2024 due to a lack of effective controls to stop muddy water running off their sites and entering the nearby brook.
The companies share responsibility for a surface water drain connecting the development sites to the brook, said NRW.
Despite a warning letter in 2021, further pollution was confirmed on at least five occasions, impacting around 300 metres of Singrett Brook and causing visible discolouration in the River Alyn, says NRW.
