English Riviera • Torquay, Paignton and Brixham
Discover Photographers from top: John Lacey, Julia Amies-Green and Bob Small The Seafood CoastPhotographer: © English Heritage Discover The Seafood Coast Torbay and the English Riviera • Torquay, Paignton and Brixham Fresh fish, a funicular railway and Stone Age caves at Babbacombe MORNING Start your day in Torquay. From here you can either Babbacombe drive or hop on the No.22 bus for the two-mile journey (3.2km) to one of Britain’s highest clifftop promenades at Babbacombe. Soak up staggering sea views on the fairly strenuous 2.2 mile (3.5km) Babbacombe and Oddicombe Walk. Swap the steep descent from Lady Mount Temple for a ride on the historic funicular railway, and, from Oddicombe beach, gaze up to the mighty compressed layers of sandstone and limestone. Scour Babbacombe Beach for curled shell fossils, then climb the coast path through woodland, pausing for local ales and line-caught seafood at the Cary Arms. AFTERNOON If you want to wallow in the epitome of coastal chic, Kents Cavern linger at the Cary Arms for a soothing spa treatment and a sundowner by the sea. Otherwise, dig deeper into the wonders of this UNESCO Global Geopark at the enthralling Kents Cavern, just a 20 minute stroll (one mile / 1.6km) or a few minutes on the No.22 bus, from the starting point of your walk. In this labyrinth of Stone Age caves, you can discover evidence of ancient humans and clap eyes on 400-million-year-old stalagmites and stalactites. Backtrack to Babbacombe and finish the day with a hearty portion of award-winning fish and chips from Hanbury’s. -

Tasked 50 Times in Two Years the Dart RNLI Inshore Lifeboat Finally Became Operational on the 7Th of November 2007 After Months of Discussion in the Town
Editor JOHN FENTON Masthead Design NICHOLAS SHILABEER Printing STEPHENS AND GEORGE DECEMBER 2009. Issue 7. Production BOXOUT LTD Tasked 50 times in two years The Dart RNLI inshore lifeboat finally became operational on the 7th of November 2007 after months of discussion in the Town. The position of the lifeboat station, and even whether we needed a lifeboat in the Port, aroused strong feelings. Andy Pound, leader of the Dartmouth Mobile Coastguard Team, had said that before the inshore lifeboat was established there were many occasions when the services of a boat had been needed and none was available. The inshore lifeboat has been tasked to rescues as far away as Start Point and Berry Head. The decision as to which lifeboat to send follows a discussion between the MCA and the launching authorities in Dartmouth, Salcombe or Torbay depending on the wind strength, sea state and the nature of the task. Andy Kyle Photo by The inshore lifeboat really comes into her own within the or drifting boats can cause serious injury if they come ashore harbour, in surf conditions, operating close to rocks and in or into contact with other boats. shallow waters as found in the river. This year 78% of calls We have evacuated injured persons from the shore, where have been to incidents up river or in the harbour and estuary. only our inshore boat could reach them. We have launched to Another surprising statistic is that a quarter of the calls this search for missing persons and tragically we have searched year have been between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. -

It summarises all the parking and traffic enforcement activities conducted by the council in 2012/13 . This year continued with ongoing difficulties for Torbay, both for struggling town centres and the council which faced £11 million cuts from its budgets imposed by central Government . Councillors and our elected Mayor faced extremely tough decisions regarding the provision of services . With the collapse of HMV, Woolworths and Blockbuster some big names are missing from our high streets, and some smaller traders are operating at just break even and living off savings . I was insistent parking charges were not increased through this difficult budget process as a way to raise income, and I led a process to review them so they suit the needs of the towns and residents . -
