Ice
cream sales 'best for 10 years' as temperatures soar in Burnham
 Scorching
summer temperatures in Burnham-On-Sea have led to soaring trade
for tourism businesses in the town this week.
Visitors
have been buying ice creams and cool drinks in their droves as
temperatures hit 30°C on Wednesday afternoon (July 1st).
Burnham
Pavilion Manager Louise Parkin told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The
weather has been wonderful for trade."
"Sales
of ice creams and cold drinks are the highest we've seen for ten
years."
"After
several wet summers it's very welcome indeed, particularly during
the current economic climate."
Meanwhile,
beaches in Burnham-On-Sea and nearby Brean have also been busier
than normal with visitors flocking to the coast to find cooling
onshore breezes.
