Information:
The Cabinet ratified
the establishment of the Torquay Place Leadership Board on behalf
of the Council, at its meeting held on 13 May 2025, which had been
established as a Neighbourhood Board to bring together those with a
deep connection to Torquay such as local businesses, grassroots
campaigners, workplace representatives, faith and community leaders
and any other relevant organisations. Government guidance set out
that all members of the Board had an equal right to vote on Board
issues and that the Board would work as partners with Torbay
Council to develop a plan for their local area and distribute
funding to the projects to deliver on this vision.
The Membership and
Terms of Reference for the Torquay Place Leadership Board can be

This Board is classed
as an outside body for the Council’s Governance arrangements
and therefore falls to the Chief Executive to confirm the
appointment of Councillor Law as the Torquay Ward Councillor
representative.
