A SECTION of a Teignmouth car park has been closed off this afternoon, Wednesday, June 4, while the council investigate a ‘potential hole beneath the car park surface’.

Teignbridge District Council (TDC) have shut a small section at the far end of The Point Car Park.

The closure is to allow TDC to ‘investigate a potential hole beneath the car park surface’.

The seating area, a small area of parking spaces, and the steps to the Back Beach are temporarily closed, the Mid-Devon Advertiser can confirm.

The council are investigating and are repairing the area.

‘Please use alternative routes to the Back Beach in The Point Car Park while these emergency works take place’ a spokesperson for TDC said.
