Winter Storm Damage

With additional rock protection being brought to Torcross and Beesands today and heavy machinery in constant use, please keep a safe distance from works

 

Public Right of Way along the A379 between Torcross and Slapton is suspended

Following extensive damage to the A379 at Torcross, and neighbouring Beesands, there is a multi-agency assessment and response underway.

 

At present, this is an evolving situation, and we are working hard to produce a complete picture. Naturally, the immediate priority of all agencies is to ensure the safety of the communities affected.

The Slapton Line Partnership

 

The Slapton Line Partnership acknowledges that Slapton Line will soon reach the end of its life.

 

The Slapton Line Partnership exists to

 

  1. Maintain resilience of the road until a point when triggers require the road to be closed
  2. Plan and deliver Adaptation Actions in anticipation of future change
  3. Ensure that appropriate contingency and emergency response plans are maintained

 

In doing so the Partnership will

 

  • ensure that suitable expertise is available to inform decision making
  • promote public awareness and community engagement in adaptation
