WHY WE MUST SAVE THE COASTGUARDS
The Coastguard Stations with in the UK are about to face disgraceful cutbacks by the present Coalition Government. The result of these cuts will leave the waters that surround our coast with out proper rescue teams & rescue co-ordination.
Eton Dave & Co plan to reduce the number of Coastguard stations from 18 to 8. Leaving 8 stations to co-ordinate search & rescue operations for the whole of the UK coastline,3 station will be maned 24/7, another 5 will be operating during the day only.
Coastguards rely on a good local knowledge of their area,that knowledge can not be programed into a computer or put on list to be read during a search & rescue.How would a coastguard in Southern England be able to co-ordinate a S&R in the waters of the North of Scotland, without that very important local knowledge.
The coalition government in Westminster are putting saving money ahead of saving lifes,what happens if there where to be a major incident in the River Clyde involving a ferry & submarine?
Thats why its important we need to keep ALL OUR COASTGUARD STATIONS. Please sign their petition via the link below
