SUMNER BEACH
Sir —All this bathing season rocks left by the military have been a menace to bathers in the vicinity of the clock tower on the Sumner beach. I understand £5OOO was handed over to repair war damage. Why cannot these stones be cleared away?—Yours, etc., OBSERVER. February 7, 1946. [“The £5OOO received by the Sumner Borough Council was intended to cover the cost of the reconstruction of the whole of the seafront,” said the town clerk, Mr H. S. Feast. “Plans have been prepared for this work, which is likely to cost considerably more than £5OOO. Manv of the rocks at the Scarborough end of the Sumner beach have, been there at least 30 years, and will be removed when conditions, including labour, are suitable.”]
