Hundreds of sewage spills were recorded in Renfrewshire last year, new figures reveal.
Latest statistics released by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency reveal that 244 incidents took place in the area during 2022.
The highest number of sewage spills was recorded at Erskine Waste Water Treatment Works, in Greenock Road, with 116 discharges lasting almost 110 days in total.
There were also 65 incidents recorded at the wastewater treatment plant in Laighpark, Paisley, and 63 incidents at the combined sewer overflow in Burnbrae Road, Linwood, last year.
Grant Toghill, spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats in Renfrewshire, described the latest statistics for the local area as “absolutely disgusting.”
He told The Gazette: “Every SNP representative should hang their heads in shame. People in Renfrewshire deserve better.
