Plans to redevelop the dilapidated wharves at East the Water have won the support of a major hotelier who says he was ‘dismayed’ when he saw local town councillors were against the scheme.
Richard Brend has come forward supporting the plans saying that Bideford needs this type of development close to the town centre: “We’ve been running The Royal since 1969, and trying to maintain custom adjacent to what looks like a derelict site is not an easy business.
“The people of Bideford deserve better than the bleak facades and wasteland on the East side of the bridge.
