THE WORKING TITLE OF TEIGNMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST
current economic climate is making it more
difficult to find alternative funding streams, however we remain hopeful that the project will go ahead.
The new Heritage Centre has now been completed and is proving to be a great asset to the town. The Heritage Trail project has identified new boards around the town, a business case has been prepared for their provision and funding is being sought. Three sponsors have been identified and the Trust will provide administrative facilities.
There are now more than fifty projects that have been identified by groups and individuals in which the regeneration group are involved. They include:
● Regeneration of the Broadmeadow Business Park, creation of new jobs and restoration of the sports fields
● Further enhancements to the Promenade ● Flood Defence Scheme ● Extension of the fish quay on the Back Beach ● Further improvements to the Brunswick Street/ George Street area
people: improving the quality of life for all age groups, supporting families, promoting individual skills and self-confidence, improving vocational and academic qualifications, providing more leisure opportunities, supporting business people and so on. Success of the process, however, is dependent upon the quality and range of partnerships that have developed and we have been very fortunate in Teignmouth in this respect.
Our existing partnerships include: Teignmouth
Town Council, Teignbridge District Council, Devon County Council, The Market and Coastal Towns Association, Devon Towns’ Forum, The Regional Development Agency, the Environment Agency, Teign Estuary Partnership, Teignmouth Community School, Teign Housing, Inverteign Family Learning Centre, South Devon College, Exeter College, the Learning & Skills Council, Connecting Communities (C2 – formerly the Kingsway Meadow Centre) and Teignmouth Chamber of Commerce.
Regeneration is vital to the future wellbeing of
● Restoration of the park at East Cliff and facilities for art and performances
● Develop new cycle track along northern side of Teign Estuary
● Producing a water-sports strategy ● Provision of affordable housing ● Additional car parking facilities ● Youth facilities throughout the town ● A Community Enterprise Centre for West Teignmouth at Kingsway
Teignmouth and its surrounding area. It benefits not just the community but also the economy.
● Bringing the Riviera building back into community use (to include arts, cinema facilities, performances and as a possible conference centre)
The regeneration process is not just about buildings and facilities. It is also essentially about
Community involvement and Partnership arrangements are key elements to achieving success. We are a community organisation whose ‘core’ activities provide an overview of the whole community. We have ten years of experience in community consultation and are well placed to take a central overseer role in the transference of District Council assets (such as the Lido) into community management with the stipulation that each asset is led by a Community Management Committee with representation from appropriate interest groups. We will assist the Town Council achieve change through the introduction of the new Localism Bill.
