Blood test call for people potentially impacted by cancer-causing chemicals in the ground (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When she moved to the countryside two years ago, Natalie Dugdale thought it would be the perfect spot to raise her family. Close to a lagoon in north Wales, she thought she could walk her baby, toddler and dogs on public footpaths. But when she watched Michael Sheen's BBC documentary revealing the lagoon's history as a dumping ground of cancer-causing chemicals known as PCBs, Natalie was shocked. Now she is part of a group of people who are worried they may have been poisoned by years of exposur
Energy company unveils new slimline pylons designed 'with Welsh landscape in mind' after backlash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An energy firm facing backlash over plans for new power lines has unveiled what it has described as a "slim and compact" pylon, designed "with the Welsh landscape in mind".

The Welsh actor contacted Rhun ap Iorwerth ahead of a BBC documentary which looked into claims of widespread chemical contamination in Wales. In Parliament on Thursday, Sheen urged MPs to back a national testing programme for historic toxic dumps to make sure sites were safe, after high levels of cancer-causing chemicals - known as PCBs -
Drought declared for whole of Wales amid sustained high temperatures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A drought has been extended across the whole of Wales with the country on course for its driest July on record in 190 years. Declaring the drought, the country's environment body Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said sustained high temperatures were causing the condition of the natural environment to "deteriorate". The decision has been made in response to record-low river levels, dry soils, widespread wildfires and mounting impacts on wildlife, farming and forestry. NRW had already announced a dro
