Risks

There are a number of combined sewer overflows (CSO) close to this bathing water. These were the subject of an improvement scheme in 2006 designed to minimise their impact on bathing waters. Those within the area covered by the map will now discharge only after unusually heavy rainfall. This bathing water is included in the Surfers Against Sewage “Safer Seas Service”. This service can alert you to Combined Storm Sewer Overflow discharges via a phone App and in addition, it includes the Environment Agency Pollution Risk Forecast warnings where they are available. Further details of the service can be found at - http://www.sas.org.uk/safer-seas-service/
