Safety warning issued to mariners in Burnham due to faulty buoy

Mariners in Burnham-On-Sea are this week being warned to take extra caution when sailing into the town's bay due to a faulty buoy.

An official Notice to Mariners has been distributed to water users due to 'number two buoy' near Stert Island being unlit due to a technical problem with its solar panels.

"Mariners are advised to navigate with caution until the light can be re-instated," Bridgwater Bay Harbour Master Chris Spencer told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
