Future Centre Trust’s programme coordinator, Tracey Edwards, visited the popular tourist area on a request from the SUNDAY SUN in an attempt to determine if recent heavy rainfall could have led to environmental issues that would put beachgoers and bathers at risk.

She reported that an inspection of the dark-brown water blocked in by the sluice gate indicated the water was still moving and not stagnant.
