    CASE STUDY MAMHEAD SLIPWAY East Devon District Council Exmouth, Devon, United Kingdom As part of the ongoing regeneration of facilities in Exmouth, Devon, there was a requirement to demolish and replace the existing Mamhead Slipway and adjacent boat trailer maneuvering area. The original slipway was in a poor state of repair due to tidal movement causing a reduction in bed levels which had undermined the piled foundations leaving voids beneath the concrete slipway slab. These voids made the structure unserviceable and potentially dangerous.

William Johnson Temple…..When he was an undergraduate….he made a close friendship with James Boswell, biographer of Samuel Johnson. The chief difficulty experienced by Boswell in carrying out his literary work was inability to conquer the propensity for liquor, and so, when staying with Temple at Mamhead, he took an oath under the churchyard Yew never to get drunk again. He admitted later, that “his promise under the solemn yew was not religiously kept, because a little wine hurried him on too much”.’ Parochial Memoranda 1857: At Mamhead is a yew of twenty-nine and a half feet.

  • Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis
    Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis The purpose of this document is to summarise the application process and key criteria associated with the Future High Streets (FHS) Fund, and present the potential town candidates which could form the basis of East Devon’s single Expression of Interest bid. This document has been compiled by officers across the council including planners, surveyors and economic development officers. Background The deadline for the submission of Expressions of Interest is 22 Mar 2019. There is likely to be a later opportunity to bid for the Fund as well. Initial awareness of the Fund emerged in autumn 2018 with fuller detail in December 2018 and then supplementary guidance more recently. As government has released more detailed information we have also sought clarification on what is and isn’t eligible or likely to be favoured. If we were to submit a bid for one of our established towns it should be recognised from the individual and collective analysis below that our high streets are not failing nor would those communities necessarily recognise or accept transformational intervention to solve a problem that isn’t significant i.e. replacing retail with alternative high street functions. However, it is also clear that other authorities not so different from nor far away from ours are preparing bids for some of their town centres. Government has said that it would like to see high streets across the regions benefit so it may well be willing to consider and work with bids of varying levels of under-performance to ensure a geographic spread.
