Sandown Mayor Alex Lightfoot, and Sandown Town Councillors, organised an end of season thank you and presentation of certificates to Lifeguard & Beach Manager Todd Miller and the team of Lifeguards that provided a beach safety service for residents and visitors to Sandown during the summer.
Recent incidents highlighted the value of the service, and the difference it has made to those that use the beach, working with local concessionaires and the Town Council, to provide accessible beach matting, wheelchairs, and the newly opened Changing Places facility.
Town Mayor Alex Lightfoot said:
"Todd and the team have again provided high quality services, that have been responsive and reactive, as well as sensitive and supportive, and the feedback we have had highlights the importance of the service."
Todd Miller added:
"We’ve been able to develop the facility, including the Lifeguard Station, in Partnership with the Town Council, and would thank the local concessionaires and Independent Lifeboat Service, for their support this season."
The Lifeguard service has also supported Beach Cleaning, Regatta and Carnivals, and will provide support at the Remembrance Day in November.
