Half of beaches fail water quality tests

There has been a significant drop in the water quality of the region's beaches. The Marine Conservation Society has published the annual Good Beach Guide.

After success last year, less than half of beaches passed water quality tests. Northumbrian water blames the wettest summer on record, while surfers blame the sewerage.
