Important discussions held today about harbor development, Cary Parade, Green, and The Pavilion.
Local council members are not invited, surprisingly. A council member wants to represent the townspeople, saying they are being excluded.
The meeting continues with business community talks. They plan to fix Torquay development issues and hope to link Abbey Sands and Cary Parade better. Also, they will improve Cary Green.
Redoing the Pavilion is another goal, and taxi rank ideas are another discussion topic. Some worry about using Cary Green for taxis.
People also worry about Pavilion repairs. The council wants positive visitor impressions and aims for design drawings soon. Work could start later this year, if funds are available.
Local council members will miss this meeting, but a separate meeting is planned for them. A council member says she must represent locals, clarifying this isn’t about politics.
The council says members are kept informed. It shared updates with all parties, and the meetings started with harbor businesses.
