HOE'S BATHING WATERS 'ARE IN PRIORITY PLAN'
WORK to improve 11 storm overflows in Plymouth and reduce sewage discharges will be carried out over the next five years.
Plymouth Hoe's bathing waters are in South West Water's priority plan as it aims to bring more than 12,000 storm overflows up to scratch over the next 15 years.
Speaking at Plymouth City Council 's natural infrastructure and growth scrutiny panel, representatives from the company said they recognised the value of bathing waters and the importance of the National Marine Park to the city. Councillors are looking into a digital signage alert system to inform people if a storm overflow is discharging sewage.
Cllr Lauren McLay (Green, Plympton Chaddlewood) asked for assurance that customers are seeing "value for money" after a "28% increase in bills, and Plymouth Hoe East being the third worst site in the UK for sewage dumps in 2024".
