Alderford Lake is off-limits to swimmers and tests are set to go ahead in the coming week after potentially dangerous algae was found.
Open water swimming at Alderford Lake won't be permitted for at least a week after a routine test was carried out on Saturday. It discovered the algae bloom, which means a build up of photosynthetic particles which make the water unsafe to swim in.
A statement on the website read:"As a natural lake, it is not uncommon for the lake to develop algae blooms, most of which are completely unharmful. "The Lakeside Kitchen, walk, escape islands and play area remain open. We ask dogs are kept on leads and away from the water. "The team are busy contacting all bookings for this weekend and please be patient, we will get to you as soon as possible. Please wait to be contacted rather than calling or emailing us."
