Coastguard Rescue Station

The residents of Garwoods, Seaward Road (I’m one!) today received a letter from Swanage Town Council informing us that tree works are going to be undertaken to the Lombardy Pines in North Beach Car Park. This is a prelude to the much needed new Coastguard Rescue Station which will be built later this year.

Now it’s always regrettable to see trees felled but in this instance, and I speak as a resident directly affected, the damage they do to my cars is horrific! Tree sap, branches falling off and bird poo! In reality they are well past their prime and more of a liability that a benefit.
