'I want to prevent this happening again'

A mother from Bromsgrove who believes her daughter died after contracting E. coli on a Devon beach, has praised a newly released drama about their story.

Dirty Business tells the story of Heather Preen who died 12 days into a family holiday to Dawlish Warren.

Since then her family have been searching for answers. They believe she died as a result of coming into contact with raw sewage in the water.

An inquest at the time found no clear reason for the infection, and pointed to a number of possible sources.

South West Water said that the loss of a child was "devastating" and added that no definitive source of infection was established.
