The Environmental Agency confirmed that Western Beach is safe for swimming and has reopened to the public.

The beach was temporarily closed after routine water quality testing detected intestinal bacteria.

Following further testing, the Environmental Agency has now confirmed that water quality has returned to safe levels.
