Lyme Regis lifeboat station and RNLI shop have closed due to coronavirus fears.
Nick Marks, volunteer lifeboat operations manager for the RNLI Lyme Regis, said: “In order to protect our volunteers as much as possible from coronavirus infection, Lyme Regis station has closed to visitors for the foreseeable future. The RNLI shop on the Cobb has also closed.
“Lifeboat training has also been reduced to the bare minimum needed to sustain our ability to deliver a lifesaving service.
“The lifeboat crew will continue to respond to service calls as and when required.”
