Council won't seek legal action over pollution
South Wales Echo
|October 02, 2025
A COUNCIL leader has said his local authority won't pursue legal action with Welsh Water over issues with pollution at local beaches and rivers.
The comment came at the latest full meeting of Bridgend County Council, where councillor Ian Williams asked what pressure the council was putting on Shared Regulatory Services, Natural Resources Wales, and the Welsh Government to trace the source of pollution which has affected the River Ogmore and beaches around Porthcawl.
He followed up on this by asking council leader John Spanswick if he would instruct legal officers to work with these organisations to investigate the possibility of legal proceedings against Welsh Water with respect to pollution emanating from their facilities.
