On the 8th February 2024, the Water Minister and I met Combe Martin Water Watch representatives to hear about all the great work that they have been doing over ten years with both South West Water and the Environment Agency to improve the water quality across our coastlines.
Combe Martin is an exceptionally difficult catchment area. Everyone has been required to pull together to maintain the area due to the geography and design of the beach with its weir. I wanted to highlight to the Minister what a motivated community can achieve with the support of landowners, water companies and the Environment Agency.
