Leader of Carmarthenshire Labour, Councillor Rob James, welcomed the Minister for Environment’s comments stating “I am pleased to hear that recent samples of shellfish were found to be safe for human consumption and that a stakeholder group has been established to assess the impact on our local cockle picking industry.
“We are also reassured by the Minister’s commitment that extensive monitoring and surveillance will continue to protect our cockle industry and consumers moving forward.
“The local cockle industry is extremely important to our local area and it is clear that the Welsh Labour Government is doing everything possible to protect it.”
