We have just received news that the Environment Agency (EA) have today confirmed the presence of Blue Green Algae at South Norwood Lake and that they have established that the presence exceeds the limit for public health.<\/p>\n
South Norwood Lake is therefore\u00a0CLOSED for any recreational activity until further notice<\/strong> and\u00a0 signage to that effect will go up first thing tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n The lake is being monitored by Croydon Council in partnership with the EA on a regular basis, so please keep your eye on the CSC website, Twitter, Facebook and\/or WhatsApp groups for updates as soon as we have them.<\/p>\n [UPDATE 28\/08\/2018]<\/strong>\u00a0The situation is improving, but although blue-green algae is no longer visible on the lake, EA have reported that the toxin levels (created by the algae) are still too high for the lake to be opened up to recreational use. Nearly there.
