As reported in the Media the UK coalition government has decided they would like to close 9 UK coastguard stations (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11988087). One of the Stations that could close or become a Day Station will be Stornoway Coastguard.
This is a clearly ridiculous thing to do as Stornoway is one of the bases that cover the most area of water in the UK. Stornoway coastguard and their crew save so many people in a year and if it was to go people would be lost without it as Aberdeen would be the closest HM Coastguard Station for Rescues
Please show you're support!!!
Reaching one hundred signatures was not something I expected when I sat down to write this. The exhaustion is lingering but knowing that this many people are just as concerned as I am keeps me moving forward.

The climb toward one hundred names has been exhausting but we are nearly there. Please push this out to your circles because we need to hit that mark before they ignore us again.

Keep it open. The safety of the whole west coast depends on this station.

Stornoway is vital for the islands. You cant expect a station in Aberdeen to understand these waters like the locals do. Leave it alone!

They have always been there when we needed them. Keep the station open.

Government in London has no clue how things work up here. We need our coastguard local.

Ridiculous decision. These people save lives every single week. Do not touch our station.

TOTAL MADNESS. The area covered is massive. People will die if this shuts down.
