A379 Slapton Line Petition
Many of you may recall this view on the A379 Slapton Line after Storm Emma in 2018. The chaos and disruption that followed throughout the summer season was horrendous for residents and businesses going about their daily routine. The sea breaching the A379 Slapton Line and merging with Slapton Ley is a major concern to everyone living, working and visiting the area. A petition has been set up to call upon the government to provide adequate funding to protect the A379 Slapton Line. We cannot wait for another breach to occur, for more chaos to ensue while budgetary issues are deliberated. We must insist on proactive measures to protect the means of connection for residents and businesses throughout the area, South Hams and beyond. It provides access for 10s of thousands who visit the area annually as well as the thousands of day trippers, enthusiasts, hobbyists, schools and universities. We urge the government to show us that the lives of everyone who depend on this route and the critical importance of the A379 Slapton Line is recognized. It's not only a road, but it's also everyone's lives and livelihood.
Please, sign this petition to call upon the government to commit to protecting the A379 Slapton Line by providing adequate funding and resources as a matter of priority.
