The Commodore of Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club has made the following announcement:
‘Unfortunately, following the extremely dry weather and sudden downpour the health of Piddinghoe Lake is at an all-time low, lots of the fish are dying, the Environment Agency is pumping air into the water and there is a strong smell of sewage leaking from adjoining properties.
For that reason, we are taking the decision to close the lake to all users until further notice, which hopefully won’t be too long.’
