Torbay MP Adrian Sanders has welcomed the awarding of almost £5million for the Parkfield youth project in Paignton.
The funding has been gained through the myplace Big Lottery programme, which has awarded £180million nationwide and Adrian supported the bid by writing to the fund organisers to make the case for Parkfield.
The new facilities will provide a range of activities and a dedicated venue for the young people of Torbay, something that has been lacking in recent years.
Adrian said: "The awarding of this funding is excellent news for Paignton and for Torbay. Young people are all too often overlooked in Torbay and this is just what is needed to redress the balance. The benefits will be immense and long lasting."
"I was only too happy to write in support of the bid for the youth centre and I will be looking forward to the facilities opening in the near future."
