A £100,000 cut to the number of beach lifeguard stations will leave councillors in East Sussex with “blood on their hands”, a union has said.
Branch Service Conditions Officer, Richard Woolven, who represents Seafront staff laid out the potential human costs of the cuts: “There are always tragic accidents, and even deaths on the seafront, and these cuts will increase the likelihood of these occurrences. “If this is passed, it will literally leave councillors with blood on their hands. There are few decisions that councillors make that have real life and death consequences, but this is one of those.”
