Michael Sheen Holds 'Constructive' Talks With Welsh First Minister Over Toxic Dumping Claims
Actor and activist Michael Sheen says an early meeting with Wales' first minister on allegations of toxic dumping was "really encouraging"
Actor Michael Sheen has described a meeting with the first minister as "constructive" following concerns he has raised about alleged toxic dumping, according to the BBC.
Sheen said the discussion was "early days but that's really encouraging," the BBC reported, signalling an initial but positive engagement between the campaigner and the Welsh government on the issue.
Details of the specific allegations of toxic dumping that prompted the meeting were not fully outlined in the BBC's report. Sheen has in the past used his public profile to campaign on social and environmental issues in Wales.
The BBC did not provide further comment from the first minister's office on the substance of the claims or on what, if any, follow-up actions might result from the meeting.
This report is based on limited information from the BBC, and further details on the nature of the toxic dumping allegations and any government response are expected to emerge as the story develops.
