Civil Action Update: Leigh Day Solicitors has sent a legal letter to the poultry companies its clients believe are responsible for the devastating pollution in the River Wye.

Lawyers representing hundreds of people and businesses affected by River Wye pollution have made their first legal move in the groundbreaking civil action.
