Hope for new RNLI base in Weston-super-Mare
The RNLI says it may have found a new site for their lifeboat station in Weston-super-Mare after moving out of their base on Birnbeck Pier which was unsafe.
RNLI considering new home due to pier's condition
There's a fresh warning tonight that Weston-super-Mare's historic Birnbeck Pier is on the verge of being lost for good if something isn't done soon.
The pier has been closed to the public for more than 20 years, but is still used by the RNLI as a base.
So now, the lifeboat crew is looking at potential options for a new home.
