Disaster on Slapton Line at Torcross
This vital link remains broken since the January storms despite undisputable evidence of its importance to people in Torcross and everyone who uses the A379 Slapton Line road for their daily activities and business. Caroline Voaden MP is trying hard to persuade government to provide funding for repairs and protection of homes but she needs more support and leadership from Devon County Council and South Hams District Council. The majority of local people have lobbied their Parish Councils to make their views to urgently repair the road known to the elected members.
