Flood barrier monitoring

The Coastguard team provided eight hours of monitoring and safety cover during both high tides yesterday.






Working along side the Environment Agency and Dorset Police the barrier was monitored with several members of the public asked to move away from the closed section for their safety.

Large waves pounded the parade and along shore road.



During the monitoring of the barrier the team were requested to assist Dorset Police with a concern for welfare. Both Swanage and St Albans Coastguard teams were tasked and searches were carried out on the jetties and pier. As the full teams arrived Police confirmed the incident had been resolved and the teams were stood down.

A final check of the barrier was carried before returning to station around midnight.
