Just had an early morning stroll along the prom and noticed signs saying that because of water quality problems, swimming and similar activities are banned in Dover Harbour.

Dover Harbour closed to swimmers after E-coli found in the water. Kent on line

And nothing to do with the River Dour (high historic e.Coli) entering harbour via new 'marina'?

Or perhaps it’s something to do with that cruise ship that’s been in the harbour for months?

Are there any updates on this rather Draconian move? To my knowledge, the Harbour has never been closed off like this...Very few details are being given....
This is affecting a lot of people for different reasons. Taking everything as a whole, there are many activities which have been stopped.
This facility of the Harbour and all that goes with it has always been accessible.
I would have thought the Dover Harbour Board could make the information more opaque.
