And that was the weekend

As the bank holiday draws to a close , we reflect on the last three days of activity.

3 days of Accident Preventions Patrols in the Swanage and Studland areas along with many other teams in the country.

Several inflatables blown out to sea, one suspicious object , one tree removed from the highway, several road signs replaced having been blown over, lots of safety advice, working with partners like the National Trust, Dorset Police , Dorset and Wilts Fire, one group of people lead to safety from caves , one walker airlifted out of Dancing Ledge, Traffic Marshall’s on a grid locked road, access routes checked and of course a few teas drunk.

Whilst 99.9% of the population were grateful , a reminder it’s not the Coastguard that control the lockdown, we are here for your safety not enforcing social distancing.

It’s half term now and we expect the area to remain busy , please do not put yourselves and us at risk.

Concerned for someone on the coast - 999 Coastguard

DO NOT HAVE BBQ’s or Open fires anywhere on the beach or heathland due to the high fire risk.
