Hi Paul
We have been watching your support on some of the forums and thought it might be the ideal time to make some direct contact with you and some of your colleagues. As you will be aware we, at Humber Coastguard, agree with your views that the modernisation plans are seriously flawed and are concerned for the safety implications to the mariner and coastal user within our area of operation.
You may be interested to know that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) are organising Public Consultation Meetings for stakeholders and the general public around the coast.
They have scheduled a meeting in Bridlington at the Spa on Monday 21st February from 7pm to 9pm. This is the only public meeting which will be held between the River Humber and the Scottish Border and we appreciate that it is being organized at very short notice.
We would like as many people as possible to attend this meeting question the proposals and to voice any concerns you may have so please share this information.
We believe that taking away the local knowledge built up over years by the Coastguard Officers at Humber Coastguard could unnecessarily put lives at risk and strongly believe that Humber Coastguard should be retained as a 24 hour station. We are also asking that people support us by signing our on-line petition at
Save Humber Coastguard Petition
Thank you for your support it is very much appreciated and if you know of any others who may like to make contact please pass on my email address.
