Vandals have struck again on the new local National Coastwatch Station at Mablethorpe, in a copy cat attack on the halyards of their flagpole; similar to the attack of three years ago on the NCI station at Ingoldmells when flag lines and pulley’s were also slashed and stolen.
The local Police has been alerted to the incident over last weekend. NCI Station Manager Tony Mee said “it is a great pity that some people cannot value others property, especially when it is supporting the possible saving of lives. The evidence of the Union Flag gives the public the signal that we are watching and thus we are there to look out for them!”
The halyards, which were obtained by public donations, have been replaced and the Union Flag flies over the NCI station whilst the watch keepers are on station. NCI Mablethorpe are still looking for Watch keepers to join the team to enhance their hours of operation, and should you be interested in becoming a Watch keeper then contact Arch Stevenson on 01507478406
