More worrying news from the Fylde coast
Traces of E.coli have reportedly been found in seawater off beaches in Blackpool following a raw sewage leak earlier this week.
The public were told not to swim at any of the beaches at Bispham, Blackpool Central, Blackpool North, Blackpool South, Cleveleys beach, Fleetwood, St Annes or St Annes North until further notice. However, this advice has either gone unseen or ignored with dozens of swimmers seen at Blackpool on Tuesday.A further warning has now been issued by the SAS group which carried out its own analysis of samples taken off Squires Gate.
Symptoms are usually seen three to four days after infection and can last up to two weeks. Although very rare, a small number of cases develop into a more serious condition called haemolytic uraemic syndrome which can result in kidney failure and even death. SAS has long campaigned to improve the quality of water across the UK, in particular targeted the huge amounts of untreated sewage which are discharged. According to an extensive report from the group, more than 700 people reported getting ill after entering the water in 12 months across 2021-22. This was more than double the previous year.
"We take tough action against those who pollute and will take appropriate enforcement action, as required.We urge beach users to follow local information and signage, and to visit the Swimfo website to access further information.”
