Bus station could make way for supermarket in 'vision' to 'transform' Paignton

PAIGNTON could be in line to lose its bus station but gain a new supermarket and multi-storey car park as part of a wide-ranging ‘vision’ for the town.

- 

Members of Torbay Council’s cabinet have rubber-stamped the document, which is a concept to be discussed with the community and would-be developers rather than a planning proposal. The vision sets out what might happen to the town over the next decade or so.

“It is about promoting Paignton to the outside world,” said the council's deputy leader Councillor Chris Lewis.

“It is about sharing the fact that we are serious about the regeneration of the town.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Paignton won't be changed in a day, but there are exciting regeneration projects under way.”
