Beach ‘shouldn’t have been’ closed

WORTHING BEACH MIGHT be reopened, but Minister of Tourism Richard Sealy was never in agreement with it being closed in the first place.

However, despite a report that a tourist was allegedly hospitalised after swimming at Worthing Beach, Sealy has insisted that the sea never posed any danger.
