Falmouth coastguard won't have its operating hours cut back.
Pressure from campaigners have forced the government to make a u-turn on plans that would have seen operating hours cut at the Falmouth Coastguard station.
The good news was announced in parliament this afternoon.
Brixham Coastguard will close however. Fishermen and campaigners have said that this will put lives at risk.

Great news about Falmouth Coastguard!
Knowing people that work at the station ,and also people that have been rescued ,due to the great work and local knowledge that the coastguard do and have ,it would of been a crying shame if operations were severely cut.
Well done to you all and here's to a secure future.

ReportFantastic news about Falmouth although I'm still unsure about the plans to close other stations. I can't see how this is a viable move.
