SENSE WINS THE DAY

A good news story!

Following on from my previous post, here's a good news story with a happy ending. If you can call a return to the status quo a happy ending. The  government has dropped plans to stop paying Coastguard volunteers . From BBC News:-

"I am pleased the minister listened to CROs, MPs and coastal communities and stopped the September change.

"The government must now work properly with Coastguard rescue officers on a long-term model which respects their service, rewards the hours they give and keeps our coastal communities safe."

Good.
