We the undersigned hereby call upon the RNLI to sack the Management of New Brighton Lifeboat Station, and the Launching Authority and the deputy Launching Authority, whose management has brought the service into disrepute.

They have allowed the station to become dirty and unkempt, the Lifeboat to be left locked outside the station, whilst the Hovercraft which has been removed to Hoylake is in an awful condition, and now they have allowed the tractor unit to be damaged by being submerged.

The volunteers who have been brought in haven't a clue about the River Mersey or the Irish Sea, and are therefore putting lives at risk. We believe the Volunteers who have been sacked should be reinstated with immediate effect so that the station can once more operate in a safe and effective way, and once more be a proud operational station.
