Sailors and windsurfers say access to what was one of South Wales’ most popular reservoirs has been restricted and travelling to England is now cheaper.
They fear the future of water sports at Llandgefedd Reservoir could be limited as costs have also increased with tighter rules and regulations implemented.
Welsh Water, which owns the 434 acre reservoir near Pontypool, has defended its pricing and said it remains “dedicated to ensuring Llandegfedd Lake remains accessible to all”.
Regular and longstanding recreational users, who aren’t affiliated to the sailing club at the reservoir, say they want to hold talks with the privately owned, not-for-profit water firm over access and pricing following changes they say were made without consultation.
