A married couple who set up a seaside takeaway shack in their front garden said they're under a "black cloud" after their "much needed" business has come under threat.
Dawn and Steve Quinn, both 50, only moved into their home on Egremont Promenade in January this year, but have already established a reputation for being at the bedrock of the local community. The pair first met when they were just four years old, but married other people, before finding their way back to each other and tying the knot three years ago.
The idea for their seaside refreshment shack - Sea-Quinn's - was born out of a desire to spend more quality time together after Steve's job required him to spend a lot of time working abroad. Steve told the ECHO: “Since we moved here we've fallen in love with the area and we’ve never met so many friendly people in our lives.
