Residents urged to avoid Peterborough beach which was shut this week

On Monday O&H Hampton announced the beach was being closed due to health and safety concerns after people were spotted swimming in the lake.

There had also been reports of anti-social behaviour and littering.

However, today there have been reports that families are still attending the beach.

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said: “Engineers are continuing to put up the fencing in the area.

“We will continue to patrol the area and encourage members of the public to avoid swimming in the water for their own safety.”
