ffs the council probably spent all their money on bike lanes instead of fixing the roads that lead to the campgrounds

mate they said it was storm damage not council incompetence, read the article

Rowan Blake2026-07-06T07:27:39.000Z

Storm damage yeah right… more like they just don't want anyone enjoying the beach without paying a fortune

Chloe Martin2026-07-06T07:38:39.000Z

lol cope, bike lanes are cheaper than fixing potholes

I had a booking for next week, they just rang and refunded me. Gutted but better safe than sorry I guess.

get stuffed mate, it's all just bullshit excuses

River Cole2026-07-06T07:54:39.000Z

bet the rates are going up to 'cover the losses' while the actual roads stay dodgy as

Chloe Martin2026-07-06T08:10:39.000Z

Rowan Blake2026-07-06T08:15:39.000Z

River Cole2026-07-06T09:10:39.000Z

Taylor Wright2026-07-06T08:29:39.000Z
