Perth and Kinross councillor raises loch sewage spill concerns with Scottish minister

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.
