    Letter: Praising the incredible work of the Weston-super-Mare RNLI (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The seafarer's lot was not happy at the beginning of the 19th century. Life in the merchant trade was hard and dangerous, with unusually bad weather leading to a sharp rise in wrecks. In 1824, Sir William Hillary founded the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), and since that time there have been countless examples of courage, selflessness and dedication which have ultimately resulted in saving lives. By 1882, a lifeboat station had been established in Weston-super-Mare. The first lifeboa

    Letter: It's great to see this Somerset holiday park still thriving (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    What a breath of fresh air it was to read and see the collection of nostalgic photographs in last week’s Weston Mercury, charting Somerset’s Beachside Holiday Park in Brean and its transformation over the past four decades ahead of a landmark 40th anniversary under the ownership of Clive and Sally James. After Clive's sad passing earlier this year, his family, including his son - director Ben James, is following in his footsteps and keeping his name alive. I am sure the park will continue to go

    Letter: The Grand Atlantic's owners must get their act together (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    North Somerset Council’s leader, Cllr Mike Bell, hit the nail on the head when he said the owners of the historic, prominent Weston-super-Mare seafront hotel, the Grand Atlantic – owned by Singapore-based hospitality company the Fragrance Group – "must do more" to address ongoing security concerns at the site after break-ins, antisocial behaviour and unauthorised access. The magnificent 130-year-old hotel faces the ocean and, for many visitors and celebrities, has long been a haven to unwind by

    Letter: Why are great Somerset seaside towns like Weston under attack? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I was saddened to read in last week’s Weston Mercury how three Somerset towns – Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea, and Minehead – were named among the worst in Britain in a new Which? survey conducted earlier this year.
