I Don't Do Detail

So who exactly is this Mayor who has a vision for Torbay? It can't possibly be Nick Bye as he states: He doesn't agree with high rise blocks for Paignton Harbour. He doesn't agree with high rise blocks for Brixham Harbour. He says Torbay didn't need to call itself a city. He thinks an outdoor entertainment area would be wonderful in the area of the Princess Gardens - right where the 'Mayoral' Vision suggests a hotel. In one breath he states that Paignton Green will not be built on. In another he is suggesting developing it with substantial play structures including climbing walls. Has he even read the 'Consultants' Vision', let alone had any input? One of his phrases is 'I don't do detail'. Torquinians, forget this at your peril!
