"Communities across England could soon benefit from thirteen new designated
bathing water sites, in what ministers describe as a significant expansion of
safe, monitored places to swim.
Among the proposals is the first ever designated bathing spot on the River
Thames in London at Ham and Kingston – a stretch of river once declared
biologically dead in the 1950s because of pollution. Today, it is being put
forward as a symbol of renewal.
If approved, the additions would bring the total number of bathing waters in
England to 464. Last year, 93% met acceptable standards for swimming, with four
in five rated either ‘excellent’ or ‘good’. The proposals follow reforms to the
Bathing Water Regulations intended to modernise monitoring and better reflect
how people actually use rivers, lakes and beaches."
