@ FredBasset As for the incompetents at Teignbridge, you lot voted them in so why are you complaining?
and the tax payer will bear the extra costs whille the incompetents at Network rail and Teignbridge council carry on regardless. Time for heads to roll contracts removed and the whole job researched, re-planned and re-budgeted by civil engineering construction experts not cowboy companies, and pen pushers.

No matter how much of a warning they give, you will still see idiots running along the sea wall (in any seaside town) playing at dodging the waves.
A bit harsh putting Brian Downie in with this bunch. It clearly shows the poor bloke was suffering from a form of dementia. Your own article substantiates this. Usual poor news reporting by a sub standard news paper. Deepest sympathies to the victim and her family for the tragic loss.
You put tons of concrete onto permeable SANDSTONE that is soaked with sea water and the pressure of winter storms and you are surprised it starts to give. I think building structures on soft foundations was never a good idea. I believe it may even be mentioned in the bible. Still you can bet someone is still going to make even more money from this cock up.
