A beach on the Devon coast
Commenting on the Government's statement that it plans a beach clean up after a European beaches report pinpointed Instow and Coombe Martin as have below standard bathing water, local MP Nick Harvey said;
"Devon enjoys some spectacular coastline and I welcome the Government's interest in bringing all our region's beaches to the same high standard.
However, I hope these efforts will be funded by the Government and that it won't fall to the local people to pay through a further hike in water prices.
Customers in the South West already pay the highest water rates in the country and should not have to stump up any more to enjoy the region's beaches"
