• Torbay in Bloom Plus Steering Group

Town Action Groups (TAGS)

To help engender the sense of civic pride, individual executive control was introduced to four town areas within Torbay. Each of these four Town Action Groups (St Marychurch & District , Torquay, Paignton, Brixham) is a team of interested people devoted to the effective administration and promotion of Torbay in Bloom for their respective towns.

If you would like to find out more about the work that is being undertaken by the St Marychurch and District Action Group you can visit their website.

These Town Action groups also enter the South West in Bloom competition each year, to be judged alongside other towns/areas in the South West.

Torbay in Bloom Plus Steering Group

This is a collection of interested people who hold regular meetings to discuss the way forward for Torbay in Bloom. Members of the TAG groups are invited along with council officers, horticulturalists and the Herald Express. It was founded in 1997 and is a platform for new ideas and to highlight any issues with particular areas.

Members of the community may attend the meetings by invitation and learn about how decisions are made and put into practice.

Please contact the Parks Development Officer for further information on how to become involved with Torbay in Bloom plus or a Town action group in your area.
