Businessman Peter de Savary is planning to splash out £1.5 million New Year on an extension including luxurious beach huts on the cliff-side alongside the de Savary family's Cary Arms Hotel at Babbacombe beach, reports the Torquay Herald Express...

The East Anglian Daily Times reports that Tendring District Council has been repairing beach huts at the Wailings in Frinton after the recent bad weather (eight Grade II liste beach huts were also destroyed in a recent fire in Scarborough and six more in a landslip in Southbourne)
