Sign the petition here: Protect Our Green Spaces — Demand Public Engagement from Torbay Council

Petition: Protect Our Green Spaces — Demand Public Engagement from Torbay Council As your local MP, I am urging Torbay Council to commit to full and transparent public engagement as it assumes responsibility for key community assets following the closure of the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust. Places like Occombe Farm, Berry Head, and Cockington Country Park are far more than just areas of land — they are the heart of our community, rich in heritage, biodiversity, and public value. These cherished spaces belong to all of us, and decisions about their future must be shaped by the voices of local residents, volunteers, and stakeholders. We are calling for open consultation on how these sites will be managed and used in the future. We expect clear communication regarding any changes, including those related to funding and staffing. It is essential that community groups and volunteers are given meaningful opportunities to help shape what comes next. Above all, we seek a firm commitment to protecting public access, conserving nature, and preserving the educational value of these spaces. Torbay Council must not make these decisions behind closed doors. Sign this petition to ensure our green spaces remain community-led, accessible, and protected for generations to come.
