AS SUMMER draws to a close RNLI lifeguards are preparing to end their patrols on some beaches in Cornwall and Devon this Sunday (September 15).

However, a large number of beaches will continue with lifeguard cover throughout September and in to October and November. This means there are still family friendly areas where the charity's lifeguards will provide safety cover between the red and yellow flags.

For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, see this week's edition of the 'Post'.
