During high river levels, surfacing water on South Beach is evident and currently scouring a channel along the beach.<br/>“Without emergency intervention the rupture presents risks to the ecology of the area, which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, to the health and safety of beach-goers and potentially lead to an increased risk of flooding.<br/>“Once we uncover the extent of the culvert breach, we will then be able to work out the best solution and proceed with repair work immediately.”<br/>There will be some diversions and closures in place in South Beach car park and on the beach itself. <br/>NRW urges people to adhere to those for everyone’s safety.")
