Beach Fails Water Quality Test
For the first time in six years Weymouth beach WON’T be recommended in a national beach guide due to the main Weymouth beach only receiving a ‘basic pass’ with coastal pollution officer Thomas Bell stating that the reduction in water quality could be down to overcrowding or weather, no mention of being right next to a marina and quay then.
The good news is that all other bathing waters in our area passed with flying colours, equivilant to water quality 20 times better than a basic pass, so that’s a thumbs up for Greenhill, Portland, Lulworth etc.… but interestingly not Overcombe.
Weymouth Council’s Leisure, Tourism and Community officer Ian James commented: “It was just a miss and we are really depressed because it’s a freak occurrence.”
