Protecting Bathing Water Quality

That the Parliament commends the results achieved during the 2003 bathing season for Scotland’s designated bathing waters; welcomes the Scottish Executive’s continued commitment to place the environment at the forefront of our strategy for protecting our bathing waters; acknowledges the importance of continuing to strive to achieve best value from the considerable investment that Scotland is applying, which in turn enhances Scotland’s tourist credentials, and endorses the partnership approach taken by the Executive to work with all sectors to reduce pollution to the water environment.
