Pilot Mark Hutley expressed his concerns about the pollution in Chalkwell Beach, stating, "It's the worst I have seen. There was a regatta in the direction this cloud was going, and my own children play on this beach. This is supposed to be a swimming beach." His comments highlight the risk posed to both recreational users and the environment.
Despite concerns over pollution, Anglian Water asserted the discharge was not sewage, claiming it was primarily silt and debris from surface water overflow. However, the visual evidence raises questions about the transparency of water safety in popular recreational areas.
