- Our current security company VenSec security solutions have embarked on a “new” system which monitors the movement of the guards patrolling on & around the marina.This upmarket system sounds an alarm if the guard has not completed his round.Hopefully this new system will ensure that the guards are carrying out their tasks correctly.

- We will be erecting a “new” access control point at the entrance to the marina. This should be finalised by the end of the month & further notices will be sent out.

- The yard has been fitted with a new palisade fence so let’s hope this will keep the “thieves” out.
