Every designated bathing water we track: the official classification, the most recent sample, and what the storm-overflow monitors nearby are doing right now. No traffic lights and no verdicts — the measurements, and where each one comes from.
8 designated bathing waters · no monitor within range of any of them is discharging at the last poll. Monitors listed are within 5 km in a straight line — distance, not a pollution pathway.

What this page can and cannot say — a monitor activation records that an overflow operated, not what reached the water or the beach. Distance is a straight line, not a tide or a current. The classification is the Environment Agency's annual rating from its own sampling programme, and a sample is one measurement at one point on one day. Monitor counts cover the overflows in OUTFALL's ingest, not every overflow that exists. Brief activations under 15 minutes are excluded as probable monitor chatter. How each measurement works →
