Mark Packard, cabinet member for planning and coastal management, said the repairs were "vital in protecting our coastline".

Donovan said: "I started sending out random text messages, showing off to my friends."I picked the first four digits the same as mine, then the last three digits randomly - it was probably about five or six different numbers - and then didn't think anything of it."

Kirsty said: "We would text through the day and then obviously it would become more and more frequent and then at one point we decided we should phone each other.""We were texting so much my phone bill was over £250 a month, I think that's when I decided we should call," Donovan continued."Feelings started to develop and she'd got the most beautiful Scottish accent, which attracted me to her as well."

The pair eventually met up about six months after Donovan sent the first text."I said to my stepsister, I've got to go and meet this guy, and she was like, 'He could be anyone', and I was like, 'Yes, I know', but I was 18 and didn't really think about consequences", Kirsty said.

"I just got on a train and came to Coventry."

Donovan said he was scared to make the first move, but Kirsty was much more assured.Mr Fuller said he also sold catapults designed for target shooting, with a range of 50m (164ft) but would not sell to anyone under 18.

"Maybe an age restriction would be a compromise?" he added.Mr Rogers has until 27 May to raise enough signatures to get a response from the government or have the matter debated in Parliament.

"We speak to anglers and they don't use these types of catapult," he said."Anglers who would use a slingshot are doing it in a private lake, they're not walking round the streets taking random shots."
