Plans for Port Royal: anticipating a Regeneration Board >> on BBC Radio Devon's breakfast show and BBC1 Spotlight >>> Thursday 27th July

There has been desperation about 'what to do about Port Royal' for some time now:
Futures Forum: Plans for Port Royal 2009: "We are desperate for someone to buy this site and to give us good money for it."

Things are clearly hotting up:
Futures Forum: Port Royal Repurposed
Futures Forum: Neighbourhood Plan > interim report on Port Royal >>> "A focus on community space"  >>> "Repeated narrative comments supported this approach as opposed to a development which is weighted towards commercial and housing purposes, stressing the importance of community and visitor use."
Futures Forum: Plans for Port Royal: an alternative view: a new campaign: an online petition
Futures Forum: Plans for Port Royal: anticipating a Regeneration Board >> Scoping Study consultation >> proposals now available

The BBC is getting interested - as reported by the SOS blog today:

BBC to highlight ‘Save Our Devon Seafronts’ campaign this Thursday (27 July). Port Royal, Sidmouth, will be featured.
