Birling Gap evacuated after suspected chemical leak
A 'haze' that is causing discomfort for people along the coast from Eastbourne to Birling Gap has prompted emergency services to warn people to stay away from the beaches.
Calls for investigation into chemical haze
MPs are calling for an urgent investigation into the cause of the chemical haze which left 150 people in Sussex needing hospital treatment. Beaches were evacuated from Birling Gap to Bexhill-on-Sea after holidaymakers suffered streaming eyes, sore throats and vomiting. But two days on, the source of the pollution is still unknown.
