Scarborough's Donkeys Are Not The Cause Of South Bay Pollution

Beach Donkeys are not the cause of Scarborough South bay's poor bathing water quality.

That's according to tests conducted by the environment agency.

They specifically tested water samples for any traces of donkey DNA.

Claire Campbell from the agency says that the pollution in the local bathing waters is due to a number of different factors but not donkeys.

Scarborough's South Bay is currently subject to an environment agency warning against swimming due to the poor quality of the bathing water despite the nearby North Bay being rated as Excellent.

Claire Campbell says that Donkey's on the beach are not a cause of the pollution.
