Burnham-On-Sea MP visits town's rescue hovercraft station

Burnham-On-Sea's MP visited the town's rescue hovercraft station on Saturday (September 15th) to hear about a busy summer of rescues performed by the charity that runs the service.

David Heathcoat-Amory visited BARB's seafront HQ to meet crewmembers and see the group's two life-saving hovercrafts up close.

He met Senior Pilot Pete Charles and BARB Secretary Roger Flower, who are pictured here with Cllr Arthur Thorogood, alongside the Spirit Of Lelaina hovercraft.

"I am delighted to see BARB in such great shape, and congratulate them on a successful fifteenth season within Bridgwater Bay," said Mr Heathcoat-Amory.
