A 'don't swim or bathe' warning has been issued for EIGHT popular beaches in Lancashire after storms on Monday night led to a raw sewage leak. They include all three major Blackpool beaches and the coastline at Lytham St Annes.
Council bosses confirmed a 'pollution incident' and said due to last night's storms, untreated sewage, mixed with rainwater, was released into the sea after an underground pipe burst.
They are also advising the public to keep all animals out of the sea, as June temperatures across the north west continue to soar.
