The Slapton Line is of huge concern to me. With ever-increasing storms and adverse weather conditions, it is absolutely essential that we protect this road which is of great social, economic and historic importance.
This morning I had the pleasure of welcoming Devon County Councillors Andrea Davis, (Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Environment and Transport) and Roger Croad, (Chair of the South Hams Highways and Traffic Orders Committee) to Torcross, Slapton and Beesands to discuss the future of the Slapton Line and to view the work that has been done at Beesands.
We were joined by Slapton Parish Councillors, who outlined their concerns as well as offering some excellent suggestions for what needs to be done to secure the future of the road and this important transport link.
I am working with County, District and Parish Councillors as well as residents and businesses to safeguard the long term future of this road.
