Fresh new looks for four local towns and villages are set to be unveiled later this month as Teignbridge District Council presents new designs based on local views.

Design proposals for Bovey Tracey, Chudleigh, and Kingsteignton will be shown at a range of public exhibitions on Saturday 26 May 2012. People can expect to see ideas for many different improvements and enhancements based on local views, and the ideas will stay on display until Friday 8 June. An event on the same day in Kingskerswell will give residents a chance to talk with planners about their village centre, including plans for the future once the South Devon Link Road is completed in 2015.
Teignbridge has employed consultants LHC Architecture and Urbanism to prepare the draft design proposals for Bovey Tracey, Chudleigh, and Kingsteignton. They follow workshops involving representatives of all the local communities, which took place during April.
These gathered information on a range of issues and explored people's ideas for enhancements, traffic management and other improvements. The comments and ideas received at the workshops have now been included in the draft design proposals which can be seen at the upcoming public exhibitions:
Bovey Tracey - 2pm-5pm - Bovey Tracey Methodist Church Hall, Le Molay Littry Way
Chudleigh - 2pm - 5pm - Chudleigh Town Hall, Market Way
Kingsteignton - 9.30am-12.30pm - Kingsteignton URC, Church Street
Kingskerswell - 9.30am-12.30pm - Kingskerswell Community and Leisure Centre, Dobbin Arch (No draft proposals, opportunity to discuss and influence future proposals.)
Teignbridge is inviting local people to have their say on the proposals from 26 May to 8 June 2012. For further information and to have your say, go to www.teignbridge.gov.uk/enhancements, email forwardplanning@teignbridge.gov.uk or phone 01626 215741.
Cllr Philip Vogel, Teignbridge Executive Spokesperson for Housing and Planning said:
"So much of our recent plan making has been about working very closely with local people, listening to their views and working together on a brighter future for towns and villages. There have been some great ideas contributed by members of the public, and we're really looking forward to sharing with people the proposals for their area.
"This is a chance for everyone to have their say on how their town or village should look in the future, and I'd encourage as many of you as possible to come along and get involved.
"Together we've come all the way from local wish lists, to firm, realistic proposals for our town and village centres. This is about making a real difference to everyday life in Teignbridge, whether it's reducing traffic bottlenecks, providing community facilities or helping make our communities more attractive to residents and visitors. Now is the time to make sure your voice is heard, because there's still time for us to listen and take notice."
Among the ideas going on show at the events are:
Bovey Tracey: Proposals to enhance the area around Station Road car park and Conduit Square.
Chudleigh: Proposals include a shared surface space in the town centre which would give greater priority for pedestrians, while still providing for traffic movements through the town.
Kingsteignton: The area around the fountain has been identified as somewhere with the potential for enhancements to create a better defined centre for Kingsteignton.
Kingskerswell: The area around the shops on Fore Street has been identified as one with the potential for enhancements. There is also an opportunity to begin to think about what could happen to the A380 once the bypass is open.
