THE RNLI has revealed Exmouth's old seafront boathouse will be taken over by the charity's lifeguards once the move to the new multi-million pound boathouse goes ahead.
The lease on the old lifeboat station runs out in May 2010 and speculation about the future of the building has been rife.
The RNLI said the charity's lifeguards are to take over the building as a support centre for its East Devon units.
