Since 2015 Torbay has seen several successful bids for funding, with a significant level of investment being provided by the Conservative Government. These include (Not an exhaustive list):
1. Paignton Future High Streets Fund £13.4m
2. Torquay Town Deal £21.9m
3. New Stations Fund for Edginswell £7.8m
5. Paignton Picture House (Cultural Investment Fund) £3.1m
8. Brownfield Land Release Fund £1m
9. Land Release Fund £3m
Yet our bids to the Levelling Up Fund have not been successful, with plans to extend Brixham Fish Market having been knocked back on 2 occasions. During a debate on the Levelling Up Fund, local MP Kevin Foster queried what level of feedback we would get on our bids ahead of bidding for a third round of funding.
