New
information signs unveiled in Burnham-On-Sea and Berrow
 Sedgemoor
District Council has officially unveiled a series of new beach
safety signs in Burnham-On-Sea and Berrow this week.
The
signs, pictured, provide maps of the beaches, emergency contact
details, lifeguard service times and also explain useful safety
and beach information.
"With
more people using our beaches for pleasure than ever before, the
demands placed on our water safety staff have never been greater,"
said District Council spokeswoman Sam Elliott.
"Sedgemoor
District Council firmly believes that providing new improved signage
that is both visually pleasing and provides important safety messages
is essential."
The
signage has been approved by EnCams, who administer the Quality
Coast Awards, plus the Coastguard, RNLI and Royal Lifesaving Saving
Society UK.
"We
hope visitors and local users of the beach find these signs both
helpful and informative," added Sam.
