SEVERAL sewage alerts have been issued for beaches in Devon, including two in Teignbridge.

Dawlish Town and Teignmouth Holcombe beaches have been flagged by Surfer’s Against Sewage.

Storm sewage has been discharged from a sewer overflow at the two beaches within the past 48 hours, the charity’s interactive tracking map shows.

Sewage discharge is common after heavy rainfall, as storm overflows are used to prevent drains being overwhelmed, but such circumstances sees sewage discharge leaked into the sea.

Though mostly sunny over the weekend, pockets of rainfall did fall across Devon, hence the discharges.
