Map of England's most dangerous beaches to swim at including popular Lancashire spot
A new map showing the most dangerous beaches to swim has emerged - with a popular Lancashire spot included on the list.
The interactive map lets you type in your postcode to find beaches near you where pollution levels have reached the point where swimming could become dangerous. Not only does it tell you if getting in the water in those spots is advised against, it lets you know if it has lost its Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs designated swimming zone status.
With summer just around the corner, families and holidaymakers will be keen to head to the coast and enjoy a swim in the sea. Yet it isn’t always safe to go swimming as high levels of water pollution can be dangerous for bathers.The water quality at each of them is regularly checked by the Environment Agency in order to ensure that they are safe for the public to use.
According to Blackpool's cabinet member for climate change and environment, Cllr Jane Hugo, the problem has partly been caused by gulls congregating beneath the North Pier to eat the fish and chip scraps left there. The birds then defecate in the sea, contaminating the water.We're testing a new site: This content is coming soon
