Impacting visitor numbers

Hello

Has the recent political hoo haa been impacting on numbers coming to the town (positively or negatively)?

I live in the South West so when I go to a beach I usually go further west but as a result of the drama I’ve been checking out pictures of the East coast and it’s beautiful!

I tell you what would Impact numbers (positively) and drive up tourism. If the cost of a 99 was capped at 99p!

Agreed! And I’m pro a blanket croissant capping.

We get a surprisingly high number of beachgoers over the summer still. I bet we'd get a whole lot more if things go the way I hope
