A councillor has written to Scotland’s environment minister to draw her attention to a recent discharge of sewage into Loch Leven and ask if anything can be done to stop further pollution incidents in future.
Kinross-shire councillor Willie Robertson decided to write to the minister to highlight the incident after receiving a response from SEPA he felt was dismissive of his concerns for the quality of water in the loch.
Councillor Robertson contacted the agency saying large quantities of untreated sewage leaked from a local waste water treatment plant over the heritage trail and into the loch on September 8.
