What is the Welsh Government doing to prevent sewage discharges on beaches in Pembrokeshire?

Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs | Answered on 21/11/2024

Welsh Government is taking an integrated catchment approach to improving water quality across Wales including Pembrokeshire. We have on-going strong engagement with local government, regulators, and other sectors.

We have committed to provide more than £40 million of additional funding between 2022-23 and 2024-25 to address water quality challenges across Wales. This includes £1.5 million of funding for Nutrient Management Boards, including the Cleddau, and I look forward to seeing their Nutrient Management Plans early next year. We are also working closely with water companies and NRW to tackle pollution from storm overflows and build long-term strategies that will improve water quality across our waterways.
