Consultation on plans for Torquay's The Strand

The redevelopment is projected to provide about 80 full-time jobs

Torbay residents and businesses have been invited to have their say on future plans for Torquay's The Strand.
The proposals were part of the wider regeneration plans to revitalise Torquay town centre, supported by money secured through the government's Towns Fund.
The design for the project, thought to be worth about £70m, featured a sweeping staircase which would "better connect" the harbourside to the Terrace, Torbay Council said.
Redevelopment plans were projected to provide about 80 full-time jobs, £32m in wages and bring 86,000 new visitors over a 30-year period, it added.
The consultation was open until 25 July, with feedback to be considered before a planning application was submitted, officials said.
It was believed an application would be submitted in the autumn, they added.
