More time has been made to discuss if public loos in East Devon could be controlled and funded by towns and villages. East Devon District Council has extended the closing date for public loos it can’t afford to spend a penny on, and wants to get town and parish councils to take them over, writes local democracy reporter Will Goddard. It will also push for lavatories to become a statutory requirement for councils, which could help it get funding from the government. In 2021, the council divided its public toilets into three categories: A, B and C. Category A loos,…

Talks of how to save a crumbling stretch of sea wall at Exmouth will be outlined later this month when the district council meets. A barrier of vertical steel sheet piles costing more than a million pounds could be the solution to save a section of Exmouth’s sea wall, writes local democracy reporter Will Goddard.   Cracks in the wall, which is believed to be around 100 years old, appeared in August in front of the Sideshore development. A storm at the end of October significantly dropped beach levels and caused the wall to “crack and slump,” putting it “at serious risk of…

East Devon Councillors want to create a steering group including all levels of local government to streamline the proposals. Last week, members of East Devon District Council’s (EDDC) ‘placemaking in Exmouth town and seafront’ group suggested that the plans, which are at an early stage, may hit fewer challenges if town, district and…
