Mr Trevor Davey, of Bucks Cross, skipper of the Lundy Gannet, has applied to the Crown Commissioners for the rights of about a mile of foreshore at Bucks Mills.

He has done so, he said this week, on behalf of local people and the public.
But the new owner of the Walland Cary estate, Mr E E T Wood, a property director, whose claim to the foreshore has been allowed by the Crown Estate Commissioners, said he did not intend to anything to hinder the public. “I doubt whether I could anyway” he added.
He claimed that his deeds proved ownership of the road, the slipway and the beach. But he had bought Walland Cary for its beauty and he wished the public to share it with him.
Mr Wood also revealed that he given notice to quit to two tenants of boat sheds he owned near the slipway. One of them, he said, was Mr Davey.
