A meeting of the Crooklets Residents and Businesses Association was held at the Crooklets Inn on Thursday, April 3 immediately after members of the association and others had viewed the plans on public display in the Bude Surf Life Saving Club. The plans involved the re-development of the amusement arcade and car park area currently in the private ownership of Mr P Horton, and the envisaged erection of a three storey 'aparthotel' which would cover more than 50 per cent of the area currently taken up by the amusement arcade building and surrounding tarmac used for car park. SEE the Bude & Stratton Post, part of the Cornish & Devon Post Series, for the complete story plus all the Bude news and pictures, including a tribute to the late Richard Willoughby.
