A new partnership campaign to keep people safer along the North East coastline has been launched.

The campaign has been put together by the Environment Agency, the Coastguard and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.

The campaign slogan reads “Don't take risks on coastal paths, piers and promenades. No selfie is worth your life”. 

These important messages can be seen on new stickers that are being placed in a variety of different locations along the Redcar and Cleveland coastline.

These include in public car parks, bus shelters and on visible notice boards positioned along the seafront.
