Story

In Cornwall, a row of 22 beach huts near Par Sands beach has been removed by Cornwall Council after failing to generate any rental income since their installation in 2018. The huts, which reportedly cost taxpayers £125,000, were never rented out, leading to criticism from local officials and residents. Despite efforts to establish a marketplace for local artisans, the council's internal processes hindered progress. The council has stated that they are now refurbishing the huts for relocation to other council-owned sites. Independent confirmation of these events remains limited, and the future of the huts is uncertain as the council seeks new management options.
