Raw sewage spotted 'seeping' onto beach after pumping station 'blockage'

RAW sewage 'seeping' onto a Llandudno beach has led to calls for Welsh Water to invest more in their pumping stations.

- 

This week beach-goers reported sewage running onto the beach under a roller-shutter door of the pumping station at Dale Road car park on the West Shore.

Now Aberconwy MS Janet Finch-Saunders says she has written to Welsh Water, demanding they invest in improving their pumping stations to prevent future problems.

Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Mrs Finch-Saunders said she is concerned due to the incident occurring during the height of the summer tourist season.

Welsh Water said the leak had been caused by a blockage, but the 'foul water' did not 'enter any watercourse and had no detrimental environmental impact.
