“The water quality results and facilities available at Scarborough North Bay, Hornsea, and Whitby are of such great quality that Blue Flag status can be applied for.

“Everyone has a part to play in protecting and improving our great bathing waters.

"If we continue to work together to reduce pollution, we can improve water quality and ensure our bathing waters and coastal communities continue to thrive.

"We’d encourage people to get out and enjoy our beautiful coastline.”
