Sewage had been released at Southsea East beach and Stokes Bay in Gosport after heavy rain earlier this week.

Storm sewage was discharged as overflows occurred by the lifeboat station in Gosport and under the pier in Southsea.

However, Surfers Against Sewage are now reporting that there are no water quality alerts in place for these beaches.

Isle of Wight beaches were also issued sewage warnings.
