	Sand recycling Work to move some of the wind-blown sand on Summerleaze car park onto the front of the dune started on Monday 30 March. This is a Cornwall Council Car Parking Services project, which Future Coast Bude have helped to facilitate. The work is being done to ensure the sand remains within the dune, whilst buying time to come up with a plan for the future as part of the Coastal Vision. The project is also working closely with the RNLI and Dunes Group to try and make adjustments to the southern access route. Work will be undertaken by the Dunes Group and other volunteers from April, to try and stabilise parts of the dune to reduce the amount of sand that is blown into the car park.
