Topsham Rugby Club car park gets a makeover thanks to local property developer

A much-used community car park at Topsham Rugby Club has been renovated thanks to local, award-winning property developer, Burrington Estates New Homes.

Topsham Rugby Club is a popular activity centre for the local community and the car park had been in need of repair for some years. Riddled with potholes and loose tarmac, the car park had begun to be a danger to users. Burrington Estates New Homes, who are currently working on their latest new homes site at EXIII, Topsham, stepped in to pave the way for the new car park and renovate it for the community.
