BOO HOO
Considering the pub round the back has closed down I would have thought they wouldn't have a problem getting it, but right on the sea front and busy main road... serving alcohol till late may be not a good idea for the peace and quiet.
The British politician is the master of procrastination when it does not effect them directly. You only have to walk along the beaches of Teignmouth and Dawlish to see how little, if any, maintenance is done to the ACTUAL sea wall. The first trains to run along this sea wall date back to around 1847. A 171 years of use and in that time this railway line has seen how much regular maintenance ...

You could put 10 bins at the location and it still would not stop those commiting this lazy act of littering. How about getting a 'working group' of criminals from one of our districts jails to go and clean it ...
In my opinion the last thing on the council and Lawn groups mind will be a cost effective, practical and pleasing to the eye band stand.
