Did you know? Last year, there were 48 water-related fatalities across Wales, 22 of these were accidental drownings across inland and coastal locations. ⛔ Unauthorised swimming at our reservoirs is never allowed and can be deadly - even to the strongest of swimmers.

On Rwanda, former Home Office Permanent Secretary Sir David Normington tells me: "Let's assume it is going happen and the govt is serious about it. My assessment: well, first of all it's inhumane, it's morally reprehensible, it's probably unlawful and it may well be unworkable."
Replying to @lewis_goodall
Me on NN on Rwanda. problems govt has 1) political- bill hasn’t completed passage, some Tories against 2) financial 3) legal 4) ethical- many “migrants” are refugees and would be given asylum in UK. Q will be, can it be right to ship them 5500 miles? To an autocracy?

Due to a loss of electrical supply, some of our water pumps have failed. Our customers in South Wales may experience no water or low pressure until our pumps have been reset. Supplies should be restored by later this evening. Thank you for your patience.

Fifty-five years have passed since the #Aberfan disaster. Our team working on the Taff Trail in Aberfan have stood down today to remember the 116 children and 28 adults that died in the tragedy. Our thoughts are with the local community.
