Leader column: Cost of Living Crisis

The move comes after complaints about sewage overflow in the village of Capel Curig last year.

I'm hoping that community councils, which have their ear to the ground, will be able to provide more detail in terms of sewage hotspots - despite requests Dwr Cymru have not provided a comprehensive list." 

The letter sent to community councils:
