Pollution in the River Cynon 2

E-mail to Natural Resources Wales

Had a meeting with Mr Tracy Plant Asset Retrieval Manager Trolleywise on the 21st July who informed us that his company retrieved almost 100 trolleys from a small section of the River Cynon at Aberaman.

It is clear the large supermarkets in Cynon Valley do not take pollution and abandon trolleys seriously by the volume of trolleys in watercourses and sounding area.

There is extensive legislation in place to prevent dumping of trolleys, as you are aware https://www.gov.uk/local-environmental-quality

You said in your last e-mail

“I will be writing to the head offices of both Asda and Tesco regarding this issue in order to clarify their procedures for the removal of shopping trolleys. I will be seeking definitive contact details from them in order to report discarded trolleys so that I can get the trolleys you have identified removed.”

We at AberdareOnline have perused this ongoing problem this copy of e-mail from we had from Tracy Plant Asset Retrieval Manager Trolleywise:

Tracy Plant said Trolleywise were going to retrieve trolleys from the river Cynon from Aberaman to Aberdare, we do not know if this has been achieved.

Saturday 2nd August there were more trolleys dumped in the River Cynon at Aberaman photograph taken, unless you as a government body start implementing the legislation the danger of the River Cynon flooding is inevitable.
