New beach toy library installed on Sidmouth seafront

A new beach toy library has been installed on Sidmouth seafront.

Children will be able to borrow items to play with for the day, and you can also donate items by leaving them inside.

The brainchild of Sidmouth Plastic Warriors, it has been funded by Sidmouth Town Council, painted by Sidmouth Repair Cafe and installed by East Devon District Council.

The beach toy library can be found at the western end of Sidmouth Esplanade (Google Maps)

Denise Bickley of Sidmouth Plastic Warriors said: "It's something myself and Rachel Perram, Sidmouth Plastic Warriors, have wanted for ages!

"Huge thanks to Dave and Coco for painting it, Sidmouth Town Council for paying for it, and EDDC Streetscene for moving and installing it.

"Now to fill it... if you have any beach toys you no longer want, or see any in charity shops/recycling centres, please pop them in there.

"Equally, if you are passing and see anything broken, or any rubbish in there, please fish it out and help keep it lovely."
