Torbay ‘turns the tide’ with it's vision

Torbay launched its new community plan at an event on Beacon Quay on 7 June 2007

The plan has been developed and prepared by the Torbay Strategic Partnership (TSP) on behalf of all the residents of Torbay. It outlines the partnership’s vision for Torbay over the next 20 years bringing together the views of residents as well as representatives from the business, community and voluntary sectors.

The plan aims to unlock Torbay’s potential and drive forward its economic prosperity to ensure prosperous communities with a higher quality of life and improved access to jobs. The vision ‘turning the tide’, is directed by four key themes Pride in the Bay, Stronger Communities, Learning and Skills for the Future and, underpinning it all, the New Economy. Brought together the plan focuses on community prosperity for all the people of the Bay.

Torbay Mayor, Nick Bye who is Chair of the TSP said,

“ I am delighted to launch this plan. It is the result of many months of work from all partner organisations and includes many of the things that local people have said they care about. It represents an important milestone in achieving our goals for the future.

“We believe that our greatest resource is our people and we must develop our skills base, creating a ‘can do’ entrepreneurial culture.  We must also become a place that is truly open for business, encouraging investment and new ideas, whilst being committed to upgrading our traditional industries, especially tourism.  

“This is a long term plan and it will be reviewed annually to take into account any changes of view or new opportunities. It is a living vision to ‘turn the tide’ and transform Torbay for its residents, visitors and future generations.”
