Torquay Pavilion going into disrepair
Why has this lovely old building been closed and boarded up? – another eyesore on Torquay seafront for the summer!
I know it is supposed to be being developed into another hotel (Why we need another is beyond me as we already have plenty of empty and derelict ones) – but nothing is happening and now vandals are starting to smash the place up – smashing windows:
We all know it has been a bit of a white elephant for years but at least it has been better cared for while open.
Now it is just going to become a target for vandals, drug users and squatters - Can’t we all just see the Palm Court all over again?
A great shame as it is such a great building and used to be so popular:

Torquay seafront road closed still
The main Torquay seafront road is to remain closed until Saturday, April 13 It will cost at least £350,000 to repair. Storm damage happened last Monday and a hole 1.5 metres high by four metres wide opened up in the base of the seawall and caused a large area of the road to collapse behind it exposing pipework.
A South West Water spokesman said: “The collapse has damaged and threatens to catastrophically undermine a large section of our sewerage network which means sewage flows must be diverted away from the affected area while repairs are made. Apparently the equivalent of 1,300 tankers of raw sewage is having to be pumped into the seas every day since Monday.
People are being warned to stay off beaches because of the contamination.
Work was due to be carried out on the Livermead sea wall – Railings around the area was put up nearly 2 months ago but as is usual with the council the start of work has been put off – maybe this could have been prevented if they had got on with it?
