“A gag on information regarding the Exmouth seafront development has been lifted.
East Devon District Council can now openly discuss the £18m project after winning a legal battle against two tenants.
Chris and Maureen Wright lost their court case against the district authority, as they fought to renew their expired leases. …”
… “The district authority refers to Exmouth’s under-performance and reliance on Exeter as reasons for carrying on with the project.
They hope it will attract families, couples on nights out, teenagers, water sports enthusiasts, rainy day and winter visitors and entice the ‘holiday park crowd’ into the town.
The redeveloped area would include eight eateries, including cafes, restaurants and bars.
There’s set to be three shops too, selling water sports clothes and equipment.
Councillor Andrew Moulding, deputy leader of the Council and Chairman of Exmouth Regeneration Board, said:
“This is an exciting time for the town and there are some great projects being brought forward by the council.
“We have an excellent track record of delivering good development for Exmouth and we are looking forward to re-energising the waterfront area with first rate leisure facilities for people of all ages to enjoy.”
