A Santas Against Sewage swimming event had to be called off due to sewage in the water prompting an onshore protest over pollution instead.

Surfers Against Sewage Cornwall had planned the festive event at Gyllyngvase Beach, Falmouth for Sunday to raise awareness of water quality.

On Friday the campaign group said South West Water had released storm discharge into the sea and instead of swimming, it said supporters should protest on the beach. One protester said it was "ironic" they could not get in the water.
