Sewage: Untreated wastewater causes beaches to shut

Beaches across Sussex have closed due to untreated sewage being released into the sea.

In Hastings people have been advised not to swim due to a pollution risk. Beaches in Bexhill and Normans Bay were also shut after “significant” electrical issues at a pumping station.

A spokesperson for Southern Water said: “I apologise to residents of Bexhill and Normans Bay because this is not acceptable.”
