Coastguard rescue teams are repeatedly finding access routes to beaches and coastal locations blocked by cars parked in front of gates where they shouldn't be. Blocking access routes could put lives at risk. Please keep access clear for emergency services at all times.

CO Alarms save lives on boats. You can’t see, hear, smell or feel it. Boats are built to keep water out, but this also makes them good containers for gases & fumes. Fit CO alarms suitable for boats & meeting the EN50291-2 standard rb.gy/ivu6d @BSS_BoatSafety #BFSW2025
