TORQUAY’S summer sea front wheel will be missing from the resort's waterfront this summer.

Bay misses out on sea front wheel as another makes short visit nearby

The Torquay waterfront wheel will not be returning this year

However, Teignmouth is having one - but only for this month.

The giant observation wheel, which bay tourism bosses say is the resort’s most Instagrammed attraction, even featured in a smash-hit Bollywood film.

But it will not be returning to its usual spot next to Torquay’s Princess Theatre this summer after Torbay Council and wheel owner the Mellors Group failed to agree on how to make it happen.

In a statement last week the council said its officers had worked closely with the company to try to get the wheel back to Torquay. It said it had explored “a range of operational factors, various financial options and possible solutions”.

However, after much discussion, it said Mellors had taken the decision not to come this year.
