A pollution warning has been issued for a beach in Fife.

Members of the public have been advised not to swim or paddle at Leven Beach.

It followed a power failure at Levenmouth waste water treatment works on Thursday.

The fault led to a leak of sewage, affecting the beach and the River Leven. The fault has now been repaired but the potential risk will remain over the weekend.
