Consultation description

We want to know what you think about a proposal to remove Tunstall Beach from the list of bathing waters designated under the Bathing Water Regulations 2013. Accessibility issues caused by cliff erosion have resulted in low user numbers for bathing and have made it infeasible for the Environment Agency to carry out sampling at the site.

We have published evidence of usage at the site for bathing. You can also read the criteria for designation and de-designation of bathing waters.
