Following reports from Surfers Against Sewage that found sewage was discharged into Llandudno West Shore 184 times in 2025, Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Bangor, Conwy and Môn, has reiterated her call for polluters to be held accountable.
Janet commented:
“The latest report by Surfers Against Sewage noted that, in the first half of 2026, Welsh Water recorded 1,492 sewage spills into bathing waters. Since 2019, Surfers Against Sewage has recorded 992 sickness reports, with 187 being made between the start of the year and August.
Janet continued:
“These latest figures show that the 13 pollution alerts issued for West Shore Beach in five weeks were just the tip of the iceberg. These continuous incidents of pollution cannot be allowed to continue.
Janet added:
“It is vital that water companies, including Dŵr Cymru, take immediate action to ensure these incidents do not recur this year. Our constituency is home to many wonderful beaches that attract both locals and visitors, all looking forward to enjoying our coastline and bathing safely in our waters.”

Yn dilyn adroddiadau gan Surfers Against Sewage, a ganfu bod carthffosiaeth wedi'i ollwng i Draeth Pen Morfa Llandudno 184 o weithiau yn 2025, mae Janet Finch-Saunders, yr Aelod o’r Senedd dros Fangor Conwy Môn, wedi ailadrodd ei galwad am ddwyn llygrwyr i gyfrif.
Meddai Janet:
"Nododd yr adroddiad diweddaraf gan Surfers Against Sewage fod Dŵr Cymru, yn hanner cyntaf 2026, wedi cofnodi 1,492 o ollyngiadau carthion i ddyfroedd ymdrochi. Ers 2019, mae Surfers Against Sewage wedi cofnodi 992 o adroddiadau o salwch, gyda 187 yn cael eu gwneud rhwng dechrau'r flwyddyn a mis Awst.
Parhaodd Janet:
"Mae'r ffigurau diweddaraf hyn yn dangos mai dim ond rhan o’r broblem yw’r 13 rhybudd llygredd a gyhoeddwyd ar gyfer Traeth Pen Morfa mewn pum wythnos yn unig. Ni ellir caniatáu i'r digwyddiadau parhaus hyn o lygredd barhau.
Ychwanegodd Janet:
"Mae'n hanfodol bod cwmnïau dŵr, gan gynnwys Dŵr Cymru, yn cymryd camau ar unwaith i sicrhau nad yw'r digwyddiadau hyn yn cael eu hailadrodd eleni. Mae ein hetholaeth yn gartref i lawer o draethau gwych sy'n denu pobl leol ac ymwelwyr, i gyd yn edrych ymlaen at fwynhau ein harfordir ac ymdrochi'n ddiogel yn ein dyfroedd."
