Filey Coastwatch Offer Easter Weekend Advice

Filey's new Coastwatch team are urging members of the public to check tide times ahead of the Easter weekend. 

The organisation, which opened in July, is hoping to keep people safe ahead of the bank holiday. 

Deputy station manager Paul Evans says that people need to give at least two hours before the high tide time to ensure that they are safe. 
 

The stations are operated by the National Coast Watch Institution, a charity which provides facilities and training for teams of volunteers to keep watch over coastal waters to aid safety.

Currently there are 57 Coast watch stations around the UK operated by over 2600 volunteers.

Paul already has a strong team at Filey but is hoping to attract new volunteers to ensure that they can operate throughout the year.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
