Blackpool Council's leader has sharply criticised the 'appalling' sewage problem affecting the Lancashire coastline, with a leading environmentalist calling for government intervention and potential fines if water companies fail to meet targets.
An ongoing 'no swim' advisory is in effect across eight Lancashire beaches since a sewage leak on Monday, June 13, after extreme storms dumped around 40mm of rain in two hours, overwhelming the Fleetwood wastewater treatment works.

This situation resulted in untreated sewage mixed with rainwater being released into the sea by United Utilities, leading to the no swim warning across Bispham, Blackpool Central, Blackpool North, Blackpool South, Cleveleys, Fleetwood, St Annes, and St Annes North beaches, Lancs Live reports.

Coun Williams added, "We're just at the start of our summer season with some glorious weather and we're faced with having to put out advisory notices telling people not to go into the sea because of the discharges of sewage. It's appalling."
After the interview, a spokesperson for United Utilities stated that work is ongoing to restore a fractured pipe to full capacity. They clarified that the fractured pipe did
