Beaches pass clean water standard

All eight bathing beaches in Lincolnshire have passed strict water quality standards set by the Environment Agency.  Tests were carried out at Skegness, Ingoldmells, Chapel St. Leonards, Cleethorpes, Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea, Huttoft and Anderby.

It also means they meet the Blue Flag criteria for water quality.  Environment Agency officers checked water samples for coliform and streptococci bacterium.

Adrian Lack, sampling and collection team leader at the Environment Agency, said: "This is a big achievement and we are delighted all of our bathing waters continue to meet the Blue Flag criteria for water quality.

"Not only is it good news for those living or spending their holidays on our coast, but it's also great news for both onshore wildlife and marine life."
