Save Flamborough Head Coastguard Station From Closure!

This petition was published by George Traves on May 07, 2010

We the undersigned call on the Department of Transport and the Maritime Coastguard Agency to:

(1) Change the decision to close Flamborough Head Coastguard station and to undertake the repairs and modernization of the premises. And bring this station up to current safety regulations, to make this station operational again.

(2) Have a public enquiry into why this station has been neglected and left to fall below safety guidelines in the first place. Find out who made the decision to close this station without even a warning to the local Community, holiday camps that there visitors were now at risk.

(3) Move the entire stations search and rescue equipment back to Flamborough head Coastguard Station or a close proximity to the station, while the station is being repaired. This is to include life saving defibrillators and oxygen equipment, they held on their premises before the closure.

(4) Notify the Voluntary Organization, such as The National Coastwatch Institution,The Sea Safety Group or let the locals start their own group as others have. And give them permission to take over the running of this station.

We can then start to raise money for the upkeep and bring this station back into service, and be fully manned as it was once before.

Thank you for your support and for signing our petition

Regards
George Traves & Liam Cappleman
