Save Paignton Green! supports the need for a childrens play area in Paignton, but is against the proposed venue of Paignton Green as it would be an enormous loss of green space to the people of Paignton, the beginning of the end of such organisations as BMAD, Paignton Regatta, The Carnival, the Half Marathon etc etc. Do you want another eyesore on the seashore, or do you want this Green intact for all residents of Paignton, not just the under 12s! Please help us stop the building on the Green before it's too late, Paignton Green needs you!!

Totally agree. We need the green space for the regatta and the car shows. Don't build on it.

Keep the green how it is! Once you build on it its gone forever. Plenty of other places to put a park.

This will look awful right on the seafront. Really hope they listen to us for once.

Ridiculous idea. Where are all the events supposed to go? Think about the festivals and the community.
