The first Brixham Town Design Statement (2010–2015) was produced by members of the Town Design Panel with the help of residents and organisations in the Brixham Community for the Community. The results of their hard work were drafted and published for consultation by the Brixham public in 2010. 1.0.2 The Design Statement gave an account of Brixham’s history, including recent events, described the main issues faced by the town and set out principles to guide the way in which these could be dealt with. Since this was published in 2010 the whole Peninsula community, of Brixham, Churston, Galmpton and Broadsands, have been working together on a Neighbourhood Plan that encompasses the whole of the Brixham Peninsula to bring a collective community approach to deciding what is wanted in the future for the area. 1.0.3 There have been many changes in Brixham since 2010 and this refreshed version together with statements from the “villages” will now be a part of the final version of the Brixham Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan. 2 An overview of Brixham 2.0.1 Brixham is an ancient settlement and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Over time it became a large inland village and the main industry was farming, which is why “Higher Brixham” is still known locally as “Cow Town”. 2.0.2 The village at Lower Brixham or “Brixham Quay” was about a mile further down the valley and consisted of a small number of cottages clinging to the steep hillsides on either side of a tidal creek on a peninsula at the southern-most projecting point of Tor Bay, where high cliffs and Berry Head provided protection. The small fishing village was where the fishermen built their cottages on the steep hillsides along both sides of the inlet. The sea came up Preliminary Consultation Document January 2017 | 5 Brixham Town Design Statement then as far as Bolton Cross, where it was thought to have been about 3 metres deep and where a ferry was in use. The inlet was filled in and built over and became “the town of Brixham Quay”. 2.0.3 Higher Brixham developed around the Parish Church of St Mary’s retreating from the inlet up the scenic valley for more than 1½ miles in the direction of Kingswear. The traditional dividing line between the two settlements is the Burton Street, Greenswood Road and Rea Barn Road junction. 2.0.4 Since these early times the area has developed into the town as we know it and Brixham today is the most important fishing port on the south coast of Devon. 2.1 Education Primary schools o Brixham Church of England Primary School and Neighbourhood Nursery o St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School o Eden Park Primary School o Furzeham Primary and Nursery School Secondary schools o Churston Ferrers Grammar School is a selective co-educational grammar school with Academy status, situated in the village of Galmpton in Torbay. It is a specialist Humanities College. o Brixham College is an average-sized secondary school (11 to 19 years). It converted to become an Academy Educational Establishment in January 2012 and the College opened its sixth form in September 2013. The campus is used by South Devon College for Access to Community Education and provides educational and therapeutic services for people with disabilities. 6 | Preliminary Consultation Document January 2017 Document 9 of 10 2.1.1 The decision by pharmaceutical giants AstraZeneca to gift their Brixham Environmental Laboratory premises to Plymouth University, when they moved their business away from Freshwater Quarry in 2014, was a generous act and has been welcomed by Brixham. 2.1.2 The University aims to add this latest asset to the University’s growing network of marine enterprise facilities, a base for a multidisciplinary

For more information see page 23 or visit www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-services Presenting the proposals to members of the Finance and General Purposes the Committee Chair said that the public had once again shown a great interest in both the online and street budget consultation and that the outcome reflects both their feedback and the Council’s determination to safeguard its key organisations and groups. While Torbay Council continues to move headlong towards providing only its statutorily required services, we have resisted the temptation to burden our community with paying for the non-statutory items beyond those that we agreed with them last year. The Town Council is continuing to back Brixham Does Care with £17,000 of funding, Brixham Heritage Museum with £10,000, Shoalstone Pool with £10,000 and Youth Genesis with £8,680. Members at the Full Council meeting rejected a recommendation from the Finance and General Purposes Committee that Shoalstone Pool should not be funded in the 2019/20 budget following a successful year when the Management team had not called for any of the budget that had been set aside for its use in 2018/19.

  • Arts & Cultural Policy for Brixham Penninsula
    Arts & Cultural Policy for Brixham Peninsula What currently exists Art activities and groups: Some professional artists – mainly figurative and literal, selling in small gallery shops around town or in a shared pop up shop or on the Old Fish Quay Saturday Arts & Craft Market stalls during the summer months but this is not a year round site. Driftwood art– designer Karen Miller, has a base and shop in the town and Gail Trezise, a Brixham artist, has a studio at nearby Cockington Court. There is little contemporary art design in Brixham and surrounding areas. Devon-based artist Kate Green was commissioned to create „My Brixham‟, a light box art project, designed to promote the town's new Fish Quay in August 2010. Sited on the main south westerly wall of the new employment building, next to the South West Coast Path., it is a multi-layered artwork, demonstrating what Brixham means to the people who live and work there. Sadly, it is not always lit up nowadays. Gallery and exhibition display space is virtually non-existent, other than in small shops and galleries. There are several photographers living and working in Brixham and Churston, creating primarily land, town and seascapes aimed at selling to tourists. There are also a few pet photography specialists. Brixham Society of Art is primarily amateur artists, who hold an exhibition for a week in the summer, in the Scala Hall, Brixham Town Hall. There are several amateur choirs – Quay Harmony, the Riveria Singers, Brixham Orpheus Male Voice Choir. Local bands – Brixham Town Band, Brixham College Band Local amateur theatre groups – BOADS – Brixham Operatic and Dramatic Society and South Devon Players.

  • Brixham Signal
    BRIXHAM SIGNAL Issue 34 Brixham Town Council July 2016 150 years ago, memories of the Great Storm were still raw in Brixham On the evening of the 10th January 1866, high winds and stormy seas had turned Tor Bay from a haven to a deathtrap for the merchant vessels and fishing trawlers who had sought shelter in these waters. By the time the storm abated, two-thirds of the vessels believed to have been in the Bay at the time were lost, along with the lives of almost 100 mariners, both locals and foreigners alike. Yet the tragedy was felt much wider than Brixham and it was the citizens of Exeter who raised the money needed to provide the first lifeboat for Torbay. Appropriately, this 34 foot long open boat was named the City of Exeter. While the modern all-weather and inshore lifeboats are leagues apart from the City of Exeter in terms of technology, the RNLI still relies entirely on the skill and dedication of its volunteers and on donations, legacies and fundraising activities to cover the costs of their vital life-saving work. So this is a big year for Torbay Lifeboat Station and they would like to invite everyone to help them celebrate. While events and fundraising will continue throughout this 150th year, the weekend of the 12th to 14th August will be the focus for celebrations. On Saturday there's a 'Family Fun Day' at Brixham Rugby Club, before the 'Bands in the Park' concert gets going at 6pm at the same venue. On Sunday we have tours of the lifeboat, the Two Lighthouses Run, Ron's BBQ, a classic lifeboat parade and much more.

Here we have endeavoured to portray a small sample of what Paignton has to offer in the way of horticultural achievements, environmental responsibility and of course community participation. This portfolio is far too short to tell the whole story of what Paignton has to offer, but I hope you both enjoy this small taster. We, like all the park groups in Torbay had a delayed start this spring due to the council requiring a liability insurance policy to be put in place to cover us for unforeseen circumstances. We had previously been covered by the council policy, but unfortunately during these austere times we had to pay for our own cover. After various quotations, Tim Eley, chair of Torbay in Bloom, found us an ideal policy from the R.H.S. which covered all groups who are involved with a Bay Bloom entry. Thankfully Torbay Council have agree to pay this years premium, but future renewals will be funded by the groups themselves.
