What3Words Campaign - Vale Coastal Area
What3Words Campaign launched in partnership with the VOG Council Glamorgan Heritage Coast Team, NHS, National Coast Watch Institute & Coast Guard, RNLI and community partners to assist walkers and families out enjoying the Vale coastline.
‘what3words’ have been placed along the Vale Coastal Path to enable emergency services to find lost walkers, casualties, missing people, or those in distress.
‘what3words’ is a three-word address system used in 170 countries globally and by UK emergency services, including South Wales Police.
If someone provides the ‘what3words’ address when reporting an incident, emergency services can enter these three words to find their exact location.
Thanks to partnership work between South Wales Police, Glamorgan Heritage Coast, Vale of Glamorgan Council, NHS, National Coast Watch Institute, Coastguard & RNLI, markers are now attached to 25 wooden posts between Ogmore-by-Sea and Monk Nash.
The project also has the support of local resident and ITV Wales television presenter Ruth Dodsworth.
