Burnham-On-Sea RNLI's lifeboat was almost prevented from safely returning to its boathouse on Monday May 30 by a black Mitsubishi Warrior which was parked opposite the lifeboat station gates.
Two vehicles were clamped by Premier Parking and the owners had to pay an £85 release fee to have their vehicles freed. A crew member also scrawled a message on the passenger window of one of the cars (pictured) to further push the message that parking is not allowed.

Lifeboat Press Officer Mike Lang said: "This is not the first time
we have had problems. The combined size of the tractor and lifeboat
trailer is 48 feet long, and 11 feet wide, and they need a clear road
to safely leave or enter the compound." RELATED LINKS:
