Proposals have been published for changes to the rail line in south Devon which needs to be better protected from cliff falls, land slips and damage caused by the sea during extreme weather. Public consultation is now open for local communities to help shape the final design of the scheme. The five-week consultation includes realignment of the railway to make room for corrective measures to stabilise the cliffs. The plans include improved leisure access and amenities including new, fully accessible, coastal walking and cycling routes.
