The government have planned to stop the Portland Coastguard Helicopter, please sign the petition against this! Thanks.
Taken from the petition website:
'The Secretary of State for Transport has announced that the Portland Coastguard Helicopter base will close, despite protests from local people, MPs and Hospital Consultants.
Many people with an in depth knowledge of what this helicopter does at a local level feel that lives will be lost as a result of losing this Search & Rescue facility.
We urge the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Transport to reverse this decision before loss of life is encountered.'

After 100,000 petitions, they will discuss the issue in parliament.
The helicopter was also featured in the BT Everyday Lives - Maritime and Coastguard Agency video! Which can be seen here:
