An interactive map has revealed England’s most polluted beaches - and a seaside destination popular with Mancs has been included. Now that summer is around the corner people are keen to head to the coast and go for a dip in the sea.
Yet it isn’t always safe to go swimming as high levels of water pollution can be dangerous for bathers. A new map allows you to check which beaches near you are not safe enough for swimming by entering your postcode.
The map informs you if getting into the water is advised against. It also lets you know if the beach has lost its Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs designated swimming zone status.
