A popular beauty spot has been sealed off following public health concerns.
The lake at Taylor Park, in St Helens, is a popular spot for dog walkers and sightseers. However, last week the lake was closed off after an outbreak of blue-green algae which can kill your pets and be harmful to humans.
St Helens Council has placed signs in the park warning people about the closure and to stay clear of the water. The lake remains closed and the council say that daily tests are being carried out on the water.
