Rejected petition Water companies must publish a daily list of beaches that are safe to swim in.

The responsibility for clean water is that of the water companies. I'd expect parliament to pressure them to maintain high standards of water quality.

More details

The fishing industry and the holiday industry need to have confidence that water quality is of the highest standard.

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Water quality at designated bathing water sites in England is assessed by the Environment Agency, which is responsible for monitoring water quality in England. From May to September, weekly assessments measure current water quality, and at a number of sites daily pollution risk forecasts are issued.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
