Briefing [05/12/1983] (Briefing)
There are safety fears for mariners, as cutbacks mean that in an emergency help will be further away.
In this edition of Briefing, a look at the rationalisation of Her Majesty's Coastguards along the North-East coastline that saw the closure of the station at the Tees estuary and responsibility transferred to the new Tyne Tees Marine Rescue Substation, in the grounds of Tynemouth Priory. What are the implications to the safety for shipping along the North Yorkshire coastline around Whitby and Ravenscar when responsibilities are transferred to a station more than 70 miles away?

The '80s in the North East
For a phoenix to rise there must first be ashes: these films capture the hungry years when hope was hard to find.
The once-thriving powerhouse of Northern industry was stripped back during the 1980s as the region lost coal mines, shipyards, steelworks and many more employers besides. The decline of the North East economy was particularly hard on school-leavers, who had fewer skills and no work experience to fall back on in an increasingly bleak jobs market.
