Thérèse Coffey has been accused of excluding environmental groups from a crisis meeting on saving the River Wye on the day it was officially labelled as in decline.
Both local grassroots groups and national organisations said that they had not been told about the event and that they only found out about it this weekend.
“We would like to have had a voice at that table and asked the Secretary of State whether she has a plan to reduce pollution to the Wye and restore the river to health,” the group said. Friends of the Upper Wye and River Action have been highly critical of government inaction on agricultural pollution.
