Jackie Baillie MSP has slammed Scottish Water after sewage was spotted spilling onto a beach in Dumbarton.

The waste could be seen at Havoc beach.

And the Scottish Labour deputy leader has branded the scene a "disgrace".

She said: “Scottish Water’s bosses are earning headline-grabbing amounts of money, yet they cannot sort out the issues which are leading to sewage spilling onto the beach at Havoc.

“It is not the first time either, after spending lots of time last time denying that sewage was present, they committed to arranging a clean-up.

“It’s a disgrace that we find ourselves back in the same position.

"I walked along the Havoc and saw for myself the sewage that had been deposited on the shore.

"There needs to be monitoring and action taken. Water companies in England have been hitting the headlines for allowing sewage to discharge into rivers and onto beaches but this also takes place in Scotland.”
