We're excited to share our latest launch with Worthing Borough Council and the Environment Agency - turning locals into citizen scientists in the fight to improve bathing water quality 👏
You can find our signs along Goring Beach, Worthing Beach and Worthing Beach House! 👋
Worthing’s coastline is becoming interactive 🌊
We have partnered with the Environment Agency and Hello Lamp Post to launch a digital tool that will help people access real-time updates on bathing water quality.
By scanning QR codes along Goring Beach, Worthing Beach and Worthing Beach House, visitors can ask questions, get the latest pollution updates and share what they’re seeing – from sea conditions to wildlife.
Hello Lamp Post is a community engagement platform that uses artificial intelligence to communicate and consult with residents. It’s currently available at only a select number of bathing waters across the county and has been introduced to Worthing as part of a multi-partner effort to make information about the town’s bathing sites more accessible.
Worthing was nominated for the platform by the Environment Agency, which has been closely working with teams from the council and Southern Water to tackle sources of pollution impacting the town’s designated bathing waters.
While action is ongoing to improve water quality along the town's coastline, we’re actively focusing on empowering residents and visitors with additional guidance to help inform them of real time water quality.
Hello Lamp Post has been introduced to help bridge that gap, providing an accessible and engaging way for people to find information and share what they are seeing when visiting our three designated bathing water sites.
The interactive experience is free to use and now available by Goring Beach, Worthing Beach and Worthing Beach House.
