New warnings have been applied to dozens of beaches across the UK
People have been warned to stay away from 83 beaches across the UK as sewage has leaked into the water. The swimming charity Surfers Against Sewage has released new pollution alerts after heavy rainfall hit the UK.
The rainfall caused waste water to be discharged into the sea. A pollution alert has even been put out for Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, which was last month named as the best beach in the country by Tripadvisor, reports the Mirror. A warning from the charity said: "A large, 3km stretch of sand backed by a promenade, gardens and the town with timber groynes found along its length. Gorleston-on-Sea became popular in Edwardian times and is still a busy seaside resort."A number of sewer overflows discharge into the River Yare that flows to the sea at the northern end of the beach.
The River Severn was the most polluted river, and had seen 28,741 hours of sewage pumped into it on 2,656 occasions by Severn Trent Water. The Mirror has approached the Environment Agency for a comment on the latest sewage leaks.
