More on the Goodrington Water Park Trees

When I first mentioned the fact that the trees at Goodrington were coming down I followed the official line. The trees had developed a fungal disease in their bark which made then liable to drop branches on passers by. One of my slightly cynical readers came up with a conspiracy theory as to why the trees were coming down. He, a taxi driver, pointed out that the Water Park is closed due to a lack of a volunteer willing to spend his own money running the place at a possible loss. The last person running the place walked into the council office (the land lord) last year and handed in the keys and said, "I've had enough, goodbye."
Clearing the trees, the taxi driver said would make the place more visible from the road and be more attractive to the mug, sorry, an entrepreneur who might take over the place. It's certainly more visible and only half the trees have gone. And on the local radio station news this evening it was announced that a willing volunteer had indeed been found and the Water Park would reopen for the summer season. Good news if you like water slides. From Torquay or Paignton catch a number 12 bus travelling towards Brixham and ask the driver for Tanner's Road.

Now I am sure our taxi driver will be shouting conspiracy theory but me, I'll stick with coincidence. Coincidences happen all the time; don't they?
