YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Despite the money the SNP/Green Government has identified for extra monitors, 70% of all dumping pipes would still go unobserved.

Look at what we’ve discovered in the last few weeks. Human waste dumped around best loved beaches, wetlands of international importance and special protection areas, from Shetland to the Clyde.

And the First Minister should take particular interest in the most used sewage dumping outlet in Scotland. That recorded 127 releases last year – that’s enough to run 100 million baths. He will know the site well, because it is on the bank of the Clyde in his own Glasgow Pollok constituency.

So, can I ask the First Minister, will he commit today to the introduction of legally-binding targets to tackle sewage dumping?
