Am I right in thinking the actual hut itself was owned by the Council so they would replace it like they're replacing the beach huts?  I ask this because I recall a post on here about the Rock Pool people winning the tender. Are we talking replacement of contents/equipment or everything? How does it work?

That's awful.  I went there for the first time recently and thought they were doing a great job.   The beach huts have been vandalised several times, now this.   Don't suppose it'll happen but it's one area that could do with CCTV.

So do you think the Strand regeneration was a waste of money that should have been used elsewhere?

My family have never used the leisure centres whereas we've all got bikes and we'll enjoy cycling the final link in the trail, it's been a long time coming.  Lycra loony spotting too.  Bonus!

Well I'm pleased.  Seems like nothing pleases you Fred.

You're a new poster Onport1968 but you're very knowledgeable about past users.  You must know that suspicion over second IDs can cause quite a stir in some quarters!

I knew it wouldn't take long before the moaning minnies crawled out of the woodwork! I too would like to go on the beach with the dog, but guess what, we go to Coryton Cove instead. Shall we go with the alternative where Network Rail has to employ even more security staff to clear the area every time they're moving heavy plant?  That'll keep the railway closed til Christmas but no ...

Isn't that where a new Dawlish Parkway would be built?  Maybe he'll make more money flogging the land to Network Rail.

'Ministers' answer'?  Just short term measures.  Misleading headline.
