The impact of torrential rain
It's really disappointing to read that Kimmeridge Bay failed the tests, that the following only met mandatory minimum standards: Lulworth Cove, Lyme Regis Church Cliff Beach, Bowleaze Cove and Portland beaches, and that the following lost their recommended status: The Hive Beach at Burton Bradstock, West Bay West beach, Eype's Mouth and Seatown.
Where is there left to go swimming?
In the words of Philip Larkin, Going Going:
Things are tougher than we are, just
As earth will always respond
However we mess it about;
Chuck filth in the sea, if you must:
The tides will be clean beyond.
- But what do I feel now? Doubt?
