Residents, businesses and visitors are being invited to share their views on early plans to enhance Brixham Central and improve the experience of arriving in the town.

The project team wants to understand how people currently experience arriving in Brixham, including the quality of the arrival environment, satisfaction with parking, and how easy it is to find and access parking spaces. Feedback is also being sought on potential solutions and ideas that could make the area feel more welcoming, efficient and better connected.

Alongside exploring options for more centralised parking, the ambition is to create a more attractive gateway into the town, one that complements recent public realm improvements and strengthens the overall sense of pride.

The long-term goal of this project is to deliver a future-proofed solution that supports the town’s economic growth, improves movements and access, and creates a high-quality public realm in the heart of Brixham.

Cllr Chris Lewis, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Place Development and Economic Growth at Torbay Council, said; “Brixham deserves a high‑quality arrival experience, no matter how you travel into the town or how often you visit. We want local people to help shape this work from the very start, before any designs are developed. Your insight will be essential in ensuring Brixham Central becomes a welcoming, efficient and better‑connected gateway to the town centre.”

Opportunities to view the emerging ideas and take part in the engagement process begin on Monday 11 May. A public drop-in event will be held on Thursday 14 May, from 3.30pm to 6pm, Scala Hall, Brixham, where members of the project team will be available to discuss the plans and hear feedback directly.

An online feedback platform will be available for two weeks, closing on Friday 22 May at 5pm.

This is a genuine opportunity for the community to influence the direction of the project before any design options are developed or taken forward to formal consultation. Everyone with an interest in the future of Brixham is encouraged to get involved and help shape the next steps for Brixham Central.

We will announce the launch of the feedback platform on Monday 11 May across our social media channels. Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn or Nextdoor to stay updated and take part as soon as the engagement opens.
