"Surfers using a popular bay could be at risk of disease due to a drop in levels of sewage treatment outside the bathing season, it was revealed yesterday.
It has come to light that sewage pumped into Pease Bay in East Lothian, one of Scotland's most popular surfing beaches, is only treated to the highest standards during the bathing season - from 15 May to 15 September.
Campaign group Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) warned yesterday this means people using the water during the autumn and winter could be at risk of diseases from diarrhea to meningitis and hepatitis."
