People have been warned to stay away from 83 beaches across the UK as sewage has leaked into the water. The swimming charity Surfers Against Sewage has released new pollution alerts after heavy rainfall hit the UK.
The rainfall caused waste water to be discharged into the sea. A pollution alert has even been put out for Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, which was last month named as the best beach in the country by Tripadvisor, reports the Mirror.
A warning from the charity said: "A large, 3km stretch of sand backed by a promenade, gardens and the town with timber groynes found along its length. Gorleston-on-Sea became popular in Edwardian times and is still a busy seaside resort.
