Water park will have 'no impact' on wildlife

The owners of a water park company who plan to open in a country park have said it will have "no impact to the local wildlife".

Aqua Park is set to open the water park at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, near Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan on 5 July.

But residents have raised concerns about water quality and the impact it will have on the local wildlife.

The country park opened to the public in 1978 and has been an official nature reserve since 2013.

The park is a haven for local wildlife and some areas have been designated a site of special scientific interest (SSSI).
