Torquay development delays summer season
01 Jul 2006
Traders on Torquay's harbour - side fear their summer season won't get going this year with development work expected to take longer than previously expected, writes Katina Read.
The area is undergoing a £3.5m investment scheme to create a new slipway, visitor information point and also upgrades to paving, street furniture and overall appearance.
Torbay Council had announced that the development would be completed by this month, but in a meeting with the contractor traders were told the work would not be finished until September.
One trader, Bluecrush Extreme Surf Shop, said their trade was down by 75% and they were worried about being able to pay their rent.
