And, as being reported currently, there are many 'issues' around East Devon's beach huts.
Futures Forum: East Devon beach huts: a summary so far...
In West Dorset, each Town Council manages its beach huts.
Of course, each town is different...
LYME REGIS:
The point about the location of Lyme's huts is that one row are at the top of the western Monmouth beach blocking the car park from sight and the eastern huts overlook the beach but are at the bottom of the sea wall so they do not block any view:

The system for getting hold of a beach hut is also different:
> Huts are bought from previous owners at market price - and not to the highest bidder.
> The licence for each hut is nevertheless held Lyme Regis Town Council. They can take the hut back at any time if they have a change in policy or if the owners neglect the huts, which is made clear in the contract, although it does not seem to have happened as yet.
> The holders of beach huts in Lyme Regis have either had them for many years, or have acquired them after waiting for many years - when they are
no longer wanted, or the person with the licence has died, or no longer wishes
to keep it.
> There is no 'bidding': it's 'first come, first served' for those huts owned directly still by the Town Council.
There is also a huge demand here for beach huts:
Residents queue overnight for Lyme Regis beach huts
Twenty people camped out overnight to secure a beach hut on the sea front at Lyme Regis. Demand for the huts at Lyme Regis is overwhelming. So the town council offers a limited number to locals, first come, first served.
3 huts available for a year long lease
Only three huts were available for a year-round lease, and three for the summer months, but there was still demand even for the winter lets.
Among those waiting was a family from Lancashire, who're very pleased to qualify as locals at last.
The lucky ones to get a beach hut won't get the new keys until the new year, but today was a chance to check on their old huts and get ready to move to the new ones. Non-locals will get a chance to hire a hut from next Tuesday, October 14th. They're £100 a week in July and August, £15 to £35 a week through the rest of the year. And there are a few kept for one day hire.
