Pollution alerts have been issued in and around Falmouth with storm sewage said to be running into local waters.

Surfers Against Sewage has put pollution warnings at Gyllyngvase and Swanpool Beach.

At Gylly, the Surfers Against Sewage alert reads:

"Storm sewage has been discharged from a sewer overflow in this location within the past 48 hours.

"Although no sewer overflows discharge directly onto Gyllyngvase bathing water may be affected by a nearby overflow some 400m to the southwest of the beach. Other discharges into the Fal River may also be affected here, along with diffuse pollution."

At Swanpool, they said:

"Storm sewage has been discharged from a sewer overflow in this location within the past 48 hours.

"There is an emergency sewer overflow from the Queen Mary Gardens pumping station that discharges to the sea approximately 420m east of the bathing water."
