Brixham Town Design Statement 2011 - 2015 - Torbay Council

What makes Brixham Special
‘Brixham is special because of
its rich history and heritage. I
do worry though, that some of
its history and warmth will be
lost without significant thought
about future plans.’
Chris, 64, Berry Head.
‘I love Busy Bee’s, Wizz Kids and Jingle Bells on the
Quay at Christmas!’
Lilly, 3, Furzeham
‘Brixham has a unique coastal and countryside landscape,
with an amazing history. My family have lived here for many
generations so it will always be special to me. I would like it
taken care of for the sake of future generations’
Kerry, 62, Berry Head.
‘Brixham is special to me
because it is a safe place to
bring up my children, and has
a friendly, close-knit
community.’
Michele, 37. Town Centre.
‘I love the fact that we have so many small
independent retailers in the town. This should be
encouraged so that Brixham retains its character
and remains different to other small towns.’
Simone, 39, Summercombe.
.
The top five things that people liked about living in Brixham according to the ‘Who Plans Brixham for
the future’ survey, taken in 2008, were the neighbours, the people, amenities and shops,
the natural beauty and the fact that people had friends and family living in the town.
