TSC report on the proposed Coastguard cuts.
Today sees the publication of the TSC's (Transport Select Committee) findings on the revised re-organisation of HMC - the service that maintains a watch on the shipping lanes and traffic off coastline UK. Initially, the consultation document contained proposals that would see Falmouth lose its 24/7 operational coverage and Brixham close altogether in accordance with the Government's desire to centralise the CG service by using technology to replace the need for regional stations.
