The independent survey commissioned by the council found 41% of respondents were very or fairly satisfied with the way the council ran its services in 2023 - down from 49% in 2022.

Mr Bullough, of campaign group Friends of the River Wye, said: "It's disgraceful that the river has been allowed to get into this state."These two bacteria are tested for because they are markers of the presence of sewage.

He said the levels of bacteria were "much worse" than he had anticipated."It’s a very disappointing day... but at least we know now what the situation is, and we have a realistic assessment of what we’re up against.""It confirms what many have suspected for a while - I know lots of people who won’t let their kids swim in the river now," Mr Bullough added.

"If these figures continue over the rest of the bathing season, The Warren will be classified as of 'poor' quality we’ll finally have something that will force the Welsh government to clean up the Wye."A spokesperson for NRW said: "This water sample is the first in a schedule that will take place throughout the bathing water season which ends on 30 September.

"We will continue to monitor the results of each sample and make the information available on our bathing water explorer."

Welsh Water said: “We have investigated our assets in this area of the Wye and there is no indication they have discharged in the days leading up to the test on 10 July, with our nearest upstream asset 7km (4.3 miles) from this site.Amy Hunt, 31, also told Clifford he had earned a place in hell, describing him as a "monster" and that what he did "to my baby sister is nothing short of demonic".

The court was silent as the father and his daughter spoke, broken only by the sound of sobbing of other family members and police officers.The court was told Clifford arrived at the family home at 14:32 BST on 9 July, under the guise of dropping off Louise's belongings, before stabbing Carol.

Amy Hunt bowed her head as the details of the murders were outlined in court.At 16:13 he attacked Louise, a dog groomer who had been working in her pod in the garden.
