Organisers of Bristol’s BIG Green Week in June promised a festival of fun today, as the first of a limited edition of ‘Green Pass’ wristbands went on sale.

The Green Pass gives festival visitors advanced booking for events, up to 20% reductions on tickets, and discounts at a range of local cafes, restaurants, and hotels during BIG Green Week.

A Bristol trio of carnival musicians marked the launch of the Green Passes at Colston Hall, the headquarters for the nine day festival, which takes place between 9 -17 June 2012.

The EU Bathing Waters Directive has significantly driven improvements within the UK in water quality of bathing waters over the past 10 years. A revision to the EU Bathing Waters Directive will be introduced in 2015 which applies more rigorous standards. Within the current directive, the parameters specified as indicators of health risk to bathers are faecal coliforms and total coliforms. Within the revised directive, these will be replaced by the two parameters E Coli and intestinal enterococci.
