Plans for more beach huts could "decimate" historic seaside town

Residents fear plans for more beach huts will "decimate" their historic village- which has remained unchanged “since Victorian days.”

Dover District Council (DDC) wants to add 33 more huts to Kingsdown, Kent, where 23 of the wooden sheds are already in place.

But residents say the area, which has a number of narrow roads, will not be able to cope with the extra cars from visitors heading to the seafront.

About 100 neighbours attended a public meeting at their village hall last week to discuss the proposal, which is set to cost £130,000.
