Futures Forum

The group offers a forum for discussion and debate to citizens concerned with the future of Sidmouth town, coast and valley.

The Group’s Aims

Futures Forum aims to gather and disseminate information and ideas, to complement the work of local government and promote social inclusion in the area.

In recent times the group has been involved in working in such diverse areas as –

  • the Local Development Framework, the production of which is driven by the national Government
  • a coastal management plan (Pathfinder)
  • Pennington Point and ways of addressing the rapid rock erosion there
  • Port Royal re-development
  • the re-development of the Fortfield Hotel site (now being replaced by an apartment building)
  • the Medical Centre in town (which needs urgent solutions to its space problems)
  • contributing to the production of the Sidmouth Town Plan
  • the proposal by the East Devon District Council of relocating from the Knowle to Honiton, and the future of the Knowle site.
