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.
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.
