The council just confirmed they are funding the new station and the jet bike. I am honestly in shock that this actually happened. This outcome belongs entirely to you for refusing to be silent about our beach safety.

I have been reading through the stories you all are sharing and they are truly heart-wrenching to see. This has become so much bigger than I ever imagined when I started and it is your dedication that is forcing people to finally pay attention.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this cause. If you could send the link to just a few friends today we might be able to reach that milestone together.

A fantastic idea and a worthy cause. I have children and I'm terrified to take them to the beach after what happened. A station there would put so many minds at rest and potentially save many xx
The recent sad loss raises this as a priority issue. With the likelihood of ongoing heatwaves and crowded beaches this action is essential for safety. let some good come out of this tragedy.
Great idea a lifeguard at the end of the pier at all times then some other family might not be going through what Ben’s family and friends are going through at this moment. Surely if that 1 lifeguard can prevent another tradgedy it’s worth it.
I was thinking about the lack of beach patrol on the east side of the pier, particularly now it has been developed to be more accessible. Perhaps this is something which should be consider in addition.
I agree something has got to be done. I nearly lost my granddaughter 9 yrs ago in that same bit.luckily my brother was there an being a deep sea diver helped massively. He saved my granddaughter. Thankgod.
I think every beach should have lifegaurd stations
We need them so much.

Clacton also needs warning boards near the pier but more lifeguards to ensure people use the beach safely is a start. All public beaches need to be made safe .. beach safety flags to mark safe swimming zones would also be useful .. as is done on public beaches in Australia.
