The decision will come into force immediately.

The Cabinet ratified the establishment of the Torquay Place Leadership Board on behalf of the Council, at its meeting held on 13 May 2025, which had been established as a Neighbourhood Board to bring together those with a deep connection to Torquay such as local businesses, grassroots campaigners, workplace representatives, faith and community leaders and any other relevant organisations. Government guidance set out that all members of the Board had an equal right to vote on Board issues and that the Board would work as partners with Torbay Council to develop a plan for their local area and distribute funding to the projects to deliver on this vision.

The Membership and Terms of Reference for the Torquay Place Leadership Board can be found at Torquay Place Leadership Board ToR and Operation.pdf.

This Board is classed as an outside body for the Council’s Governance arrangements and therefore falls to the Chief Executive to confirm the appointment of Councillor Law as the Torquay Ward Councillor representative.
