Stop the closure of Torquay Pitch and Putt
I along with many others, locals and tourists alike have enjoyed
the pleasure of using the facilities of the Torre Abbey Pitch and
Putt and Bowling. This amenity, open for over 60 years, is
literally the last public amenity to enjoy in Torquay. It is a
shared frustration that the local Council wants to deprive us of
this gem for the second time, only to be dependent on lottery
funding for their plans. The Pitch and Putt has been lovingly
maintained for many years and really gives something to the
community. Its closure will leave no communal amenity for us to
utilise, other than tennis courts, throughout the year. Equally,
its loss would also potentially mean a significant reduction in
tourism facilities and revenue impacting local businesses and thus,
our economy.
We the undersigned demand a public consultation prior to the
termination of the Pitch and Putt. Until such time as plans are
publicly consulted and agreed upon, request the Council renegotiate
continual terms of the Pitch and Putt lease.
