Swimmers were given the all-clear to go back into the sea off Dawlish on Saturday afternoon after fears of sewage contamination.

Beach-goers had been warned not to go into the water amid reports of contamination from the town's water treatment works.

However tests over the last two days showed the water is still within European safety guidelines.

South West Water has launched an investigation into the scare.

Teignbridge District Council says warning signs are now being taken down.
