THE Budleigh Salterton rumour mill swung into overdrive on Tuesday when word went around the Longboat caf� was being demolished.
When the caf� was cordoned off and a skip moved in, many residents believed work was in progress to pull down the building to make way for the proposed controversial new glass-fronted restaurant development.
Longboat co-owner Jane Hushon said the caf� was closed for the day while essential repairs were carried out.
Mrs Hushon said: "This happens every year. We had to do some remedial work.
