Martin Caton (Gower) (Lab)
I present a petition on behalf of the “Save Swansea Coastguard” campaign, which in a few weeks has collected more than 100,000 signatures in opposition to the closure of the coastguard station at Mumbles, Swansea.
The petition states:
The Petition of people concerned about maritime safety in the Bristol Channel,
Declares that the recommendation of the UK Government to close the Swansea Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre at Tutts Head, Mumbles, would endanger the lives and wellbeing of people on the water and around the coast of the Bristol Channel.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons press the UK Government to retain the Swansea Maritime Rescue Centre as a 24-hour staffed coastguard station.
And the Petitioners remain, etc.

Paul Maynard (Blackpool North and Cleveleys) (Con)
I should like to present a petition from the people of Blackpool and Cleveleys.
The petition declares:
The Petition of the people of Blackpool and Cleveleys,
Declares that the Petitioners are opposed to the permanent closure of the Lauderdale Avenue/Blandford Avenue crossing to traffic and pedestrians.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to encourage Blackpool Council to ensure that the Lauderdale Avenue/Blandford Avenue crossing remains open.
And the Petitioners remain, etc.

Sarah Newton (Truro and Falmouth) (Con)
This petition states:
The Petition of the residents of Falmouth,
Declares that the Petitioners believe that the dredging of Falmouth Harbour should be permitted to go ahead so as to enable the implementation of the Port of Falmouth Masterplan which is essential to the future prosperity of Falmouth.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to ensure that the Marine Management Organisation strikes the appropriate balance between environmental protection and social and economic development, with particular regard to the Port of Falmouth Masterplan including the dredging of Falmouth Harbour.
And the Petitioners remain, etc.
