A popular watersports venue has suspended activities after concerns about the water quality.

Sailing and other water-based activities have been stopped at Conningbrook Lakes in Ashford following a test earlier this week.

The leisure site, run by Freedom Leisure on behalf of Ashford Borough Council, was closed yesterday.

A spokesman for Freedom Leisure said in a public post that activities were suspended due to "abnormal results" from a routine test.

They said: "Freedom Leisure confirms that all water based activities are currently suspended at Conningbrook Lakes.

"Following abnormal water quality test results this decision has regrettably been made until further results are received, and there is a better understanding of the situation.

"Once we have more information, we will share this as soon as possible."

It is not yet known what was in the test that led to the suspension.

Freedom Leisure and Ashford Borough Council have been contacted for further comment.
