Burnham
Coastguards issue safety warning after jetty blocked
 Coastguards
in Burnham-On-Sea have issued a safety warning after the town's
jetty was partially blocked by parked vehicles on Saturday (May
10th).
As
these photos show, six vehicles were using the slipway, much to
the concern of the town's marine emergency services who would
have been unable to launch lifeboats or hovercrafts during a call-out.
Burnham
Coastguard Station Officer Steve Bird said: "Having 24-hour
access from the jetty is vital. We advise water users who use
the slipway to bear this in mind when launching their boats or
jet skis."
