Four intoxicated men who were pulled from the sea by the RNLI continued drinking alcohol through funnels before police sent them home.
However, the Vale of Glamorgan Council have confirmed that the building is not being torn down. A spokesperson for the council said that they had been “consulted on work to remove part of the building that was considered structurally unsafe.” They also confirmed that a planning application has not been submitted for the renovation of Normandy Manor, as the works are “restricted to the alteration of the building, rather than its full demolition so it is not required, neither is conservation area consent. The manor lies inside the Penarth Conservation Area. The previous owner of the iconic house that fell into disrepair was fined more than £3,000 for failing to comply with an enforcement notice to carry out necessary building work.
Penarth Lifeboat Station - Creative Commons RNLI PENARTH is looking for a new volunteer shop manager to join a team of committed volunteers as the station’s shop on Penarth Esplanade gets ready to open its doors for the first time in over a year. The volunteer shop manager will play a key role in saving lives at sea by helping to generate vital funds for the station, as well as promoting the work of the RNLI to customers and raising awareness of key safety messages. RNLI shops started life as simple cake stalls run by volunteers to raise money for their local lifeboat station.
