4/9/22 On Sunday 4 September, the newly refurbished station at NCI Wells  was re-opened by Duncan Baker MP and NCI Chair Clive Pouncey.

Volunteers who keep a watchful eye over north Norfolk's stunning coastline will soon be doing so from a much-improved lookout point. Tony Goddard, station manager, admitted he was delighted with the work that he and other volunteers had carried out. 

“It can only be positive for Wells and the people who visit," he said. “"Alongside the new lifeboat station, it can all only be a great thing for the town. A gang of four worked very hard to do the work: Deputy manager Peter Stanbridge; roster manager John Tookey; administration officer Tony Eyre; and myself. Without us four, we wouldn’t have saved thousands of pounds doing the work, which would have cost a fair bit if we hired contractors."

The revamp was aided by donations from North Norfolk District Council , the Holkham Estate and Wells Harbourmaster while the rest of the cost  came from public donations. 

 The refurbished lookout point is located at the end of Beach Road, opposite the new RNLI lifeboat house, and is one of seven National Coastwatch stations in Norfolk and Suffolk.
