The good news from last Friday’s meeting of the Devon and Torbay Combined County Authority is that Tranche One of the Slapton Line Minor Roads Improvement Works has been approved, at a projected cost of £1.24m. The first stage will see improvements, in the way of more and better passing places, to the south-north routes from Stokenham, Slapton, and Strete towards the A381 at Stanborough Gate. Initial surveying for the improvements has started this week – residents will have noticed temporary closures on the roads north from Stokenham and Slapton – and the work proper is due to begin towards the end of summer. As the Authority concludes, “With the Slapton Line closed and its future uncertain, improvements to the minor road network is essential to maintain connectivity for local communities and support the local economy. Significant investment in FY2026/2027 alongside a phased approach, will deliver early benefits for residents and visitors.”
