National Trust makes
National Trust makes ‘devastating’ decision on Devon coast
“We thought they were our friends”
Reading this one between the lines, it’s mainly about “I want to park my car for free”, rather than I dunno nature conservation. It was £55 for a permit for locals under the outgoing arrangement, and seniors can join the NT for £68.
Of the two accounts given of what has happened, I tend to believe the NT:
[Cllr Cook, parish council chairman] adds: “Unilaterally, and without any prior consultation, the National Trust has decided not to renew a long-standing lease with Mortehoe Parish Council, the body looking after the interest of the two local communities of Woolacombe and Mortehoe.”
The National Trust released a statement saying: “The National Trust opened discussions about the changes in December 2022. Since then, the charity has met with the Parish Council regularly… to discuss various options to work together and…offering solutions to several of their concerns which were refused. The National Trust has repeatedly offered to preserve the employment of the council staff at Marine Drive and this was refused.” (abridged by me for repetition)

EDIT : it does look like from the Parish Council minutes in spring 2023 like the NT did indeed unilaterally decide in late 2022 not to renew the Marine Drive lease. There also appear to have been discussions between the parties through 2023, but no detail is given: no meeting of minds, it would seem. Curious as to why this story now.
