COASTGUARD URGE PARENTS TO BE VIGILANT AT SEASIDE
SSILB would like to make sure that the following message is passed onto the general public and would also like to agree with the MCA statement in 'urge the general public to use common sense while enjoying our coast'.
Keep Safe - Stay Safe
Thank You
Local Coastguard would like the following message passed on:
We cannot stress strongly enough how important it is that parents have their
young children within their sight at ALL times whilst at the
coast.
Of course we want people to enjoy their day out at the seaside but they need to be aware of the many dangers which are present at the beach.
We were becoming very concerned this afternoon, particularly for the safety of
the two children who were missing after Thursday the 20th of July 2006.
It was also extremely distressing for both the children and the parents involved.
