(NOTE: There were nine sites which failed in England; Blackpool central and
south beaches, St Anne's North, St Anne's Pier, Heysham Half Moon Bay and
Fleetwood, all on the Lancashire coast, as did Walpole Bay, Margate, and
Ilfracombe Capstone and Combe Martin on the north Devon coast. One failed in
Wales, at Llandudno west shore.)


Nine out of ten beaches and bathing spots in England and Wales have achieved
strict new EU standards for water quality this year.

Just 10 out of 502 beaches and inland bathing sites failed basic water quality
standards.
