Insights to Lumley destruction...

Here's an article that gives a little more information as to why the beach bars along Lumley beach were destroyed. I do agree, some of the bars were quite ugly and not frequently visited. But Ramada's and Bunkers should definitely have stayed!!! It was their rustic wood and thatch structures that DREW people there. It is sad to see a structure like Bunkers taken down just over a year after it's opening. People worked hard on that place. I guess I should not feel so bad that we don't have a beach bar to go to on a Friday evening but rather feel sorry for the 394 people mentioned that now have to find income elsewhere.
