New site for lifeboat station in Weston-super-Mare
After a long search the RNLI says it has found a location for a new lifeboat station in Weston-super-Mare.
For the last year it has been based in a temporary station after it was forced to leave its historic home on Birnbeck Pier. The service now wants to build a new station on Madeira Cove but the RNLI may need to raise up to £4 million for it.
