    Llanishen Reservoir

    ‘A wonderful moment’: Welsh reservoirs to reopen after 23-year battle
    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/20/a-wonderful-moment-welsh-reservoirs-to-reopen-after-23-year-battle
    Llanishen and Lisvane reservoirs in Cardiff were bought for housing in 2000 – but locals fought to bring them back for recreational use


    Must admit I don't have any skin in the game on this but it sounds like a good news story. I vaguely remember the original Croesy bigging up the private development of the site but it seems a win for local activism and some enlightenment from Dwr Cymru.

      Tidy. I might go for a stroll up there tomorrow. Does anyone know if the NHS dentist there is taking on new patients?

        Welsh Water is the model that all UK water authorities should adopt. A not for profit core - that contracts outs some services to the private sector to do the work.
        Their customer service is fantastic, they arent in it for the cash - they are in it to give people a decent water supply - they could do better at trying to fix the leeks though..
