Petition – Slapton Line Funding

Jan 14, 2025 | Featured

Do you depend on this stretch of the A379 coast road linking Strete and Torcross?

If so, you’ll be well aware of the most recent breach of the road in 2018 and the difficulties that this created for the following seven months until the road was fully reinstated. These repairs provided only a temporary solution – it’s only a matter of time before Slapton Line is breached again. There are neither plans nor funding for a permanent fix.

If you’re passionate about securing the future of the Slapton Line, you can demonstrate your support by signing the Slapton Line petition.

The petition started by a local parish councillor calling for ‘the government to commit to protecting the A379 Slapton Line by providing adequate funding and resources as a matter of priority’ can be accessed via this external link LINK
