Major UK resort warns beachgoers not to swim in sea 10 days after sewage leak

Beachgoers have been warmed not to swim in the sea at a major UK resort this weekend - some 10 days after a sewage leak resulted in human waste being deposited in the sea.

Tests carried out by the Environment Agency found sickness and diarrhoea-inducing E.Coli in the water at Blackpool - one of the country's most popular seaside towns - resulting in it being declared strictly off limits.

It comes as a serious blow to holidaymakers along the seven-mile seafront, amid a forecast of 24C heat on Saturday and Sunday.
