Map shows all the beaches you should avoid as sewage gets dumped into water

The most polluted beaches in England have been revealed after relentless sewage dumping by water companies.

Beaches have been left in a sorry state, and to make matters worse new rules to permit sewage to be dumped into rivers for 15 more years were voted through by an overwhelming majority of Tory MPs earlier this year.

In January Anglian Water was slapped with a £510,000 fine after raw sewage was discharged into a river for 23 hours killing 5,000 fish, the Environment Agency said.
