Brighton Beach Patrol Stands Strong Despite Setback
Established in 2015 by Resolve Security Solutions, Brighton Beach Patrol (BBP) is a registered charity dedicated to saving lives and protecting vulnerable individuals by preventing risky night-time swims.
Brighton and Hove Council’s Seafront Office has stepped in, lending BBP a quad bike while damage repair assessments are underway.
BBP said: “With the support of other agencies, we are committed to keeping our vital service running.”
