Jet skis will be allowed to launch from a Torridge tourist resort this summer after councillors once again rejected attempts to stop them.
March’s Torridge District Council full council had voted to overturn a previously agreed recommendation that would have closed the Churchfields slipway in Appledore with bollards that would stop jet skis from being able to launch.
They had called for a fuller and more detailed report to look at all the issues with the area and the launching of jet skis to come forward to full council later this year, but at Monday night’s full council meeting, they voted down a motion asking for a report on other possible, costed options for preventing users of jet skis using the slipway.
