After a short term pollution event, levels of bacteria typically return to normal after a day or so but it\u2019s possible to have several warning days in a row. Details of the work to reduce the sources of bacteria at this bathing water are detailed in this profile.\nIn 2023 7 pollution risk warnings were issued for this bathing water. \nAll bathing waters have the potential to be affected by a pollution incident and if this occurs a pollution risk warning will be issued with associated advice against bathing on this website.", "_lang" : "en"}
