To give you some background, the RNLI has decided to downgrade New Quay Lifeboat Station to an Inshore Lifeboat when the service life of its Mersey-class All-Weather Lifeboat expires in 2020. The proposed new lifeboat will not be able to launch in conditions exceeding Force 7 in the daytime or Force 6 at night.
This doesn't just affect New Quay: The All-Weather Lifeboat also covers Cardigan, Aberporth, Tresaith, Llangrannog, Aberaeron, Llanon, and Aberystwyth. After 2020, there will be no All-Weather Lifeboats in the whole of Ceredigion, leaving a gap of 70 miles between the All-Weather stations of Barmouth and Fishguard. What this means is that the nearest All-Weather Lifeboat, even travelling at 25 knots, will take an hour and a quarter to reach some parts of Cardigan Bay.

i know this doesn't directly effect people in warrington but as i came from warrington and am now here relying on this boat if i get in to trouble to come to my rescue, how many of your relatives in the future might come to Ceredigion on holiday who at some point might venture out on a boat trip or a private boat and get where they could get into difficulty at sea?? please take the time to sign the petition to save the all weather lifeboat
thank you in advance
