Surfers in reef damage claim

A RENOWNED east coast surfing spot is at the centre of claims the reef which produces its waves has been damaged.

The reef at Pease Bay, East Lothian, is a well-surfed break owing to the rock formation near a caravan park.

But surfers claim its reputation has been threatened by emergency work to repair sand dunes in front of the park.

The owner of Pease Bay Caravan Park, has denied any wrongdoing but admits to carrying out work to rebuild the dunes after they were destroyed in a storm earlier this year.

An investigation led by Scottish Borders Council has found no evidence of planning rules being broken.
