VETERAN visitors the Stevens family say they will stop coming to Guernsey if sewage is pumped into Cobo Bay again.
Dorset residents Eric and Joanne Stevens have been coming to Cobo for 30 years and their son Matthew, 12, has practically grown up on the beach, they said yesterday.
‘It would just be horrible if they keep pumping sewage out here,’ said Mrs Stevens, a school bursar. ‘I wouldn’t let my son go into the sea and that’s the main attraction of the place. It’s sickening, really.’
She threatened to give up the Guernsey tradition.
‘I will go to Cornwall instead,’ she said.
