Chris Loder, MP for West Dorset, has written to the Environment Agency to express his support with the re-designation of Church Cliff Beach, Lyme Regis, as a bathing beach. The local MP has been an ardent supporter and vocal campaigner for the cause. Reflecting on his support, he said:
“The good people of Lyme Regis have been without a designated bathing beach at Church Cliff Beach since 2015, when it was de-designated by the Environment Agency. I believe that re-designation will bring innumerable benefits to the local community and economy, and I have reiterated this to the Environment Agency.”
“I have also been lobbying South West Water to ensure that they deliver on their promise to clean up the River Lim, which discharges adjacent to the beach, and which subsequently impact water quality.”
