All Blue Flag beach status should immediately be revoked to stop misleading visitors and locals about the safety of using them. 

Dogs are banned from beaches which is good as I do not take our dogs on them.

Anyone that has had their dogs swimming on a Welsh beach will tell you their dogs get ill.

All the way around the Welsh coast humans are at a three fold times risk of getting campylobacter. 

Any inquiry you make with public health to councils along the coast will tell you a Freedom of Information is required  as regards campylobacter with a 30 day wait if you are lucky.

My first experience of NRW incompetence was at the public inquiry held at the Royal Oak Hotel in Welshpool over the windfarms  and pylon lines.

I was sat only 10 feet away from the NRW representative who out of the blue withdrew all their objections against the wind farms and pylon routes. 

I can still remember the look on Mr Brett Kibbles face who had done so much good work for Montgomeryshire against Powerlines MAP.

My interpretation of his facial response was of astonishment and disgust at the NRW representative statement who sat adjacent to him. 

My own response thinking about it at the time was is it incompetence or corruption. NRW has a  hell of a lot to answer for over the last decade.
