Torbay MP Adrian Sanders has written to elected mayor Nick Bye today, urging him to listen to the concerns of local people surrounding the proposed development on Babbacombe Downs.
Local residents have raised concerns that the development will severely impact upon the natural beauty of the area and that the council is disposing of open spaces for quick financial gain.
Adrian said: “Torbay desperately needs investment and development but there is no point in pursuing projects that severely damage our best selling point-the stunning natural beauty of the Bay.”
“Add to this that the proposals for the Downs have been subject to a questionable level of public consultation-as so often seems to happen with Mayoral projects-and it seems essential that the Mayor puts his plans on hold.”
