Maybe but neither the MCA nor you are starving or likely to be.

I have not signed. I cannot see any reason why we need both milford and swansea and I can see every reason why various govty organisations bneed to change and make efficiency savings as time goes on.

[Bosun Higgs]

Milford port authority already control the haven though thats a different job to what the MCA ia about. Anyway, we agree on just one MCA station. I couldnt care where it is on the S Wales coast. Or indeed the N Devon / Cornwall coast

who actually covers the Irish Sea ?

who actually covers the Irish Sea ?

For the UK the Irish Sea is currently covered by the Coastguard Stations at Milford Haven, Holyhead, Liverpool and Belfast. For the Republic there's a search and rescue centre in Dublin.

I share Bosun Higgs' view. It appears unnecessary to have more than one Coastguard Station for the Bristol Channel and adjacent waters. Milford Haven seems as good a location as any. Consequently I have not endorsed the Swansea petition.
