The Government have selected Torquay to receive £20 million over the next 10 years as part of their Plan for Neighbourhoods programme. This has the potential of transforming our town for the future. We want to make Torquay a thriving place with vibrant neighbourhoods and a welcoming, active town centre, building on the improvements that have already taken place.
The plan needs to bring people together so we can feel proud of our area and safe on our streets. It will make sure children have the best start in life and that adults can live the life they want to by supporting them to enter the workplace, supporting workers to progress, and businesses to grow. The plan aims to help Torquay residents have more of a say in how our town is shaped now and in the future.
The money can be spent on physically improving our neighbourhoods, improving our town centre, on housing, arts, culture and heritage, on crime and safety, transport, on education and opportunity, work and skills, on health, wellbeing and sport and on being a stronger community. If only it were £200 million, not £20! Three-quarters of the funds must be spent on building facilities, and a quarter on services or activities. To be able to make the biggest difference, we need to imagine how we want Torquay to look and feel in 2035.
We need to work out how to get there and what is the most important thing to do over the next 4 years, and then beyond. There have been a lot of consultations in Torquay over the past 10 years – we are drawing on all of this information – but now we want to ask you 4 specific questions – please help us get this right…
Whether you’ve lived in Torquay all your life or have recently moved here, this is your chance to help shape the future of our town. By answering just four quick questions, you’ll be helping guide where this vital investment goes and as a thank you, you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win £250 cash.
