Sir,
As an average member of the public who lives in Lamlash and enjoys the occasional walk along the shore. I have made recent observations. Firstly the coastline from cordon to Ardlui is predominantly sludge. This now seems to be spreading onwards to the left hand side of pier (looking towards Holy Isle). The water off the pier is murky and when I do occasionally swim, it is not in Lamlash Bay. The rest of the island has clear water and sandy or rocky shores.
As Lamlash is a very popular tourist area, I wonder what a coastline of sludge will do for tourism. I know nothing about water quality, but in Lamlash Bay it seems very poor in comparison to other localities round the island.
