Swimmers at one Merseyside beach were disgusted after they spotted what they believed to be sewage floating in the River Mersey.
On Saturday morning, (May 13) Chris Britton headed out to Mother Redcaps Beach in New Brighton with his swimming group The Reluctant Runners. While preparing to go for a dip the group spotted something floating in the water.
Chris said they saw a "big brown" stream in the Mersey and while The Reluctant Runners noticed it before going in, one group of swimmers had already entered the water.
