Vision of Teignbridge - 2031

A Seminar of two day workshops took place at the Racecourse on Thursday and Friday 16th and 17th July was hosted presented by: Teignbridge Strategic Partnership, Teignbridge District Council and Consultants Homes & Communities Atlas.

I went along armed with Kingsteignton Community Plan and the Ward Profile. Leader of the Council Alan Connett was there briefly and I explained to him that my idea was to try and fuse the Survey Analysis for the Kingsteignton Area to the Vision of Teignbridge .

I realised this was going to be a difficult undertaking. Alan introduced me to Mary Elkington, Growth Point Officer of Teignbridge District Council and she arranged to sit at my table next to me throughout the first workshop.

This was a thrilling exercise to try and do. The people at my table for this workshop had to make their contribution also. They were John Collier Marsh Service Lead for Development Control; Alison Galby, DCC. Adult Services; Sue Craythorne Equality officer DCC and along side me, Mary Elkington, Neil Blaney Facilitator TSP and Marie Stainwright TDC.

During the second session Roger Harding joined our table and gave his perspective from the Stover Canal and Bovey Basin including Teigngrace. Also with us was a delegate from the University of Plymouth giving his perspective from Seale Hayne.

Feedback from these sessions is promised during the month of August.
