Council hopes it will stop illegal occupation of site.

Local residents had raised concerns after travellers occupied the site last year.
Teignbridge District Council leader Jeremy Christophers tweeted to say: "Accepting delivery of 700 tonnes of grit at Drumbridges, to ensure no illegal occupation of the gritstore can happen..."
