Noisy drills being used to stabilise a Brixham cliff face have
cost hundreds of pounds of lost trade in the height of the summer
season, claims a cafe owner.
Lee Tyrrell of the Breakwater Bistro is frustrated the work is
being carried out during his busiest time of year and says he has
lost up to pounds300 a day since it started two weeks ago.
Mr Tyrrell claims the noise has led to would-be customers turning
their back on his eatery because it disturbs the peace of the
tranquil setting overlooking Tor Bay and Breakwater Beach.
A rock fell from the cliff face on to the beach below in February
but Torbay Council has only recently begun to make the cliff safe.
