Campaign Continues to Save the Clyde Coastguard

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the Public and Commercial Services union public meeting in relation to the Save our Coastguard campaign which took place at Greenock Town Hall on 24 August 2011; notes that the UK Government has announced that a number of coastguard stations around the UK will close, including the Clyde Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Inverclyde; further notes that the meeting was attended by a cross-party spectrum of elected representatives alongside members of the public, with the sole purpose of saving the Clyde coastguard station from closure; understands that the Clyde coastguard station deployed more search and rescue hours than any other station in Scotland in 2010, and was the third most active in the UK, therefore welcomes the cross-party campaign to save the Clyde coastguard station, and urges members of the public to support the campaign and attend the protest rally on 24 September in Greenock.
