The scheme is coming along nicely. Already there are benefits to pedestrians walking in safety and with plenty of space. I live very near to the scheme, and over the years have seen consistent anti social driving particularly speeding, people sitting in their vehicles with the engine idling while looking at their phones for long periods and resultant pollution. Should have happened years ago.

Development wildly in excess of the needs of the Town. Just another trouser stuffing opportunity for those feeding at the trough.

Teignbridge isn't a hugely "diverse" area, that's just a fact. Do you want us to bus people in to make the council look more acceptable to you?

they should also remember...we put them there for our interests...not their own.so listen...you might keep that fat salary coming in.

Shire District, England

My point of order is it dont look very deverse!!!

There should be Transparency in every council. And the public have every right to know what is going on and what THEIR council tax is been used for.

Good your keeping them in check.

Is the last picture Nicola Bulbeck?

I do not TRUST him, I thin I would prefer REFORM.to him.

The fact that Labour is in the lead says much about the British people.

Good luck

if only unfortunately it's the same old regurgitation of political self - entitled parasites on the take. thatcherism prevails selfishness and unchecked greed.

I live in Dorset and I'm voting green party

Well said, someone who actually has our part of the country at heart who has stood up and stepped forward to fight for us and our democracy.

This Council doesn't give a toss what locals think, They are devastating Newton Abbot building thousands of homes which will only go to those coming into this Town when there will be no shops, no jobs and then they will try to implement the 15 minute no go areas. They are cutting thousands of trees down which is so odd because we have to get Council permission to cut a branch in our own gardens!! We still have no infrastructure to build all these homes which will turn getting in and out of this town into a gridlock and all for money. But then Stupid is as stupid does!

Hello....of course the traders are worried....and so are the shoppers....they live in the real world! Get a life councillors and be well ashamed for entertaining such a plan. You are messing with a shopping centre that works brilliantly. Of course there are cars, they bring the people and plenty of them from remote villages all around....where they rely on cars as their only way into town. Do not penalise them and young busy people who need no fuss shopping. Meaningful consultation and listening to the responses is a key responsibility of any serious councillor. God Save Our Queen Street!

Of course the traders are worried...they live in the real world! The lack of consultation with those most affected is shameful. Councils should work for the people to make positive not negative changes. Crazy to fix what is not broken. My wife and I have shopped here for 50 years and we love the experience. It is a bustling, thriving pop and shop centre and to threaten that is criminal. It is delusional to assume the public support such a crass scheme...why not ask them properly? And listen to what they say. People leading busy lives need to be able to shop without fuss. Take a taxi did someone say?.....unbelievable! May God Save Queen Street!

I live in newton Abbot and I’m 59 and was born next to tuckers malltings , Newton Abbot Where once stood houses , now a car park sadly. , these so called corrupt councillors I believe are following government rules to destroy everything , roads , towns , and for what, money , I believe they don’t know anything but are sheeple to a corrupt organisation set to destroy everything , I see more signs going up everywhere for speeding to get revenue , 🤬

TBH didnt know you really existed. You need to make your group more locally known if you want the traction you seek.

its deosnt work, the council will milk and put rates up continually and do nothing for the residents. The residents will then have to fork out in the area they pay tax for and live an absolute premium. If the council got away with setting up high street then next they would widen it to outside your front door!

The council doesn't represent the people, they represent themselves.

That’s very sad that the council aren’t listening I’m George from cramlington

You need to see the bigger picture of nationwide decline of small towns, town centres in general, which is driven by the big supermarkets, online shopping and the willingness of people to go with all that. Allowing a few people to badly reverse park isn't going to cut it, Specifically with Newton Abbot The REAL PROBLEM IS THE MARKET AREA. Get that right and you might save this town but carry on like the council are and it will be another corrupt inept failure.

It’s all about discouraging people from private vehicle ownership. There is no care or consideration to people or businesses when councils get their incentives (funding) from the central government to do these ludicrous anti-car / anti-people schemes. The councils and government are in place to work for us and they need to be reminded of that from time to time.

councils ruining Britain. You get what you vote for. Use the ballot box to turf out the councillors who ignore you. Simple.

This idea is madness. Did Teignbridge planners forget that many people who visit Queen St in cars, drive in from villages? Sometimes I don't want to do the car-park and walk around thing, I want to park for an hour or half an hour, pop into the bank and a shop or two and off. Sometimes I don't have the free time for anything else. I can do this in Totnes on the high street, why not Newton Abbot in Queen Street? I've never seen a Council work so hard over the years at killing a town.

Present situation not especially great either! - everyone crammed on the pavements - groups of people chatting and blocking the way - mobility scooters - having to dodge umbrellas when it's raining - crossing to shop through parked cars, all resolved by pedestrianisation -

Total waste of money. Leave the town alone

Good video, well structured and shows the Traders position very well. Another excellent effort by the SDA who are rapidly becoming the true and trusted representatives of the town and its people. When will TDC and DCC actually consult properly and above all listen. There is too much going on behind closed doors with hidden agendas that need to be exposed. Lets help the SDA do just that by making this a big issue and help to save our independent traders.

should have put some ppl in Dawlish!

Sounds just like Mark!

It's true!

amazing

This made me cry, so poignant.

We must stop this from happening, we must

Just read the Mid Devon Advertiser today. A disgrace, 450 houses and probably only the start. More countryside lost, more food production lost, more concrete, more carbon emissions, more light pollution, more pressure on land fills, our roads and reservoirs. I suppose the architecture will be of the same shockingly shit quality as has been built already around newton by Taylor Wimpy, Linden and Bovis. All the virtue signallers and politicians banging on about climate change whilst the biggest irreversible environmental destruction is being carried out by house builders pretty much unchallenged. Plus they are directly contributing to our climate emissions. Bollox.

Sharing is caring. Thanks for your efforts.

Very very good. I wouldnt live in torquay either. I live in paignton and the large estates of looky likey multi coloured sheds are going up at quite a lick. As soon as they re finished it seems that there is a relatively new car sat outside almost over night. !!!

more money for the council tax coffers !The Devonian accent is becoming a minority language !

I moved from Luton to newton 😂😂😂

I find it heartbreaking that they are even contemplating concreting over this beautiful IRREPLACEABLE countryside. There are far too many new houses in this area at the moment, and developers are finding it quite hard to sell . Enough is enough and I urge everyone that cares to sign the petition against this desecration of OUR countryside. The GREED merchants are out in force with their grubby hands outstretched. NO NO NO they must NOT get away with it.

Great protest song!!!
